Ok, that's what the patch effectively does. We have this in chipidea/core.c:

| 	dr_mode = ci->platdata->dr_mode;
| 	if (dr_mode == USB_DR_MODE_UNKNOWN)
| 		dr_mode = USB_DR_MODE_OTG;

default to otg if nothing specified.

| 
| 	/* initialize role(s) before the interrupt is requested */
| 	if (dr_mode == USB_DR_MODE_OTG || dr_mode == USB_DR_MODE_HOST) {
| 		ret = ci_hdrc_host_init(ci);
| 		if (ret)
| 			dev_info(dev, "doesn't support host\n");
| 	}

If we can do OTG or host, try to initialize host role,

| 
| 	if (dr_mode == USB_DR_MODE_OTG || dr_mode == USB_DR_MODE_PERIPHERAL) {
| 		ret = ci_hdrc_gadget_init(ci);
| 		if (ret)
| 			dev_info(dev, "doesn't support gadget\n");
| 	}

if we can do otg or peripheral, try to initialize device role,

| 
| 	if (!ci->roles[CI_ROLE_HOST] && !ci->roles[CI_ROLE_GADGET]) {
| 		dev_err(dev, "no supported roles\n");
| 		ret = -ENODEV;
| 		goto rm_wq;
| 	}

If we have no roles, complain and bail out.

ci_hdrc_host_init / ci_hdrc_gadget_init are static inline noops when
gadget or host are disabled.
