Ok, it seems that this should work fine if:

- USB_DWC2_DUAL_ROLE is set

- dwc2 handles dr_mode properly

[ BTW dwc3 has the following code in its ->probe which dwc2 lacks
  (the code sets the default dr_mode value):

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_USB_DWC3_HOST))
		dwc->dr_mode = USB_DR_MODE_HOST;
	else if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_USB_DWC3_GADGET))
		dwc->dr_mode = USB_DR_MODE_PERIPHERAL;

	if (dwc->dr_mode == USB_DR_MODE_UNKNOWN)
		dwc->dr_mode = USB_DR_MODE_OTG;

  It seems that correspoding changes are needed for dwc2. ]

- proper dr_mode is set in the DT dwc2 entry if the board needs it
