My understand: only make sense for pass build, host can't work before
gadget modules loaded; gadget can't work before hcd loaded, nothing
can work before all drivers are loaded.

Why? User enable USB_OTG means both drivers should be enabled anyway.
Even in non-OTG case, both may be built-in for machine with 2 ports
(one port is host only, the other one is peripheral only).

A general question, 2 drivers depends on each other, allowable?
