Yes, you are right. Using dr_mode in initialisation is not necessary.
We can just let it go and using the default mode. In fact, for most
boards with this SoC, host mode is just enough. And it is just easy 
to overwrite the mode value in the driver if we want another mode. 
For the OTG, it can just check the `vbus_det-gpios`. I will remove 
this property, thanks.

`switch-gpios` is gpios to controll USB switch connected to the
phy. Sophgo recommends that phy use a switch to separate device
port and host port if it supports both. I know this is weird,
but many board follows this design, such as Huashan PI and 
Milkv Duo S. As for item number, it is just an array of gpios
to process one by one, I mark it as two just because Milkv 
Duo S use two gpios to controll the USB switch.

For vbus_det gpio description, There is because the design of 
Milk-v Duo S, which connect the switch gpio and VBUS detect 
gpio. In this case the OTG function is broken and we can just 
change the mode by toggling switch gpios. So I suggest not 
defining this property.
