Yes, we have.

- We have enabled pullup dp default for most of platforms, and for
gadget obex and uvc will pull down it since it wants app to
control it

- Some USB charger detection design may need it for the secondary
detection.

After checking again for usb_gadget_disconnect and
usb_gadget_disconnect, I think there is no possible that the dp is
still pulled after we call usb_gadget_disconnect, so we don't need
to change anything:)
