Thanks for the review.
The USB1 port on this board supports both host and device roles,
selectable using the SW1 switch on the SoM.

The board does not have VBUS or ID detect GPIOs — role selection
is purely manual via the hardware switch

The VBUS 5 V is sourced from the fixed 5 V rail (V5P0_OUT), which is
always on and not controlled by GPIO or regulator.

As suggested,
it feels like need two different DT files, one for each SW1 position.
talos-evk-som.dtsi - device-only mode
talos-evk-usbhost.dts - host-only mode

will it be okay to proceed with above scenario?

The board default in device mode.
The USB1 port role is determined entirely by the hardware
switch SW1 on the SoM:

There are no ID or VBUS detect pins, so dynamic OTG switching is
not possible. dr_mode in the DTS is therefore set explicitly to
"peripheral" for device mode or "host" for host mode.

Sure, will update in v4 patch accordingly,
