Firstly, w/o USB_OTG and USB_OTG_FSM, your OTG port will work well as before
(i.e. it can be host or can be gadget as you want, so it's enough for you if
connect normal usb device or PC host), I assume you are not wanting more here,
this dual role functionality actually is not the part of "CONFIG_USB_OTG";

What USB_OTG + USB_OTG_FSM does is *specific* for HNP and SRP, it's based on
OTG spec and will *not* work well with a normal usb device, that's the reason
behind in disable USB_OTG, which is not needed, and even impact your expecting
function in your case...
