In that case, please post the patch setting "dr_mode" to "otg". As to
why "peripheral"/"gadget" operation doesn't work could be addressed
separately and seems to be independent of the device-tree. The reason
for suggesting "otg" instead of "host" is to ensure that the device-tree
describes the Hardware. Since "host" mode is still functional with
"dr_mode" set to "otg", at-least for the use-cases that you have in mind,
I believe that "otg" should be acceptable.
