Why can't modify the one from OTG controller directly?

gadget->is_otg is only set to true if fully OTG is supported and it
needs to send OTG descriptors at this case. DRD devices should not send OTG
descriptors.

Getting otg capabilities should be prior to driver->bind since
usb_otg_descriptor_init is called at that. Besides, Gadget driver
may be probed before otg driver is registered

I am wonder if we can implement defer probe for gadget/udc/host driver
if otg driver is not probed, in that case, some designs can be simpler
like wait list in otg driver.
