Ok, maybe we have different understanding for 'B-Device' at software,
In spec, it says the Micro-AB receptacle with nothing connected can be
'B-Device', but in fact, we may not enable device mode before loading
gadget driver, in chipidea fsm design, if the gadget driver is not
loaded, the FSM will not start, and it is at OTG_STATE_UNDEFINED.

One more thing is we may need to find a place to issue SRP when we
load gadget driver, since we may at b_idle  at that time due to host
closes the vbus (timeout for a_wait_bcon).

What is the "softconnect" used for? In otg fsm, we use b_bus_req for FSM.
