I removed 4 patches:
0043b-TODO-driver-core-Break-infinite-loop-when-deferred-p.patch
0044-REVERTME-usb-dwc3-gadget-skip-endpoints-ep-18-in-out.patch
0001-Revert-USB-fixup-for-merge-issue-with-usb-dwc3-Don-t.patch
0001-Revert-usb-dwc3-Don-t-switch-OTG-peripheral-if-extco.patch

and indeed as you expect kernel boots (no infinite loop). However dwc3
host mode is not working as in your case, device mode works fine (Yocto
configures a set of gadgets for me).

Just to be sure if I could have bisected without 0043a I added back the
2 0001-Revert* and indeed I run into the infinite loop with the console
spitting out continuous:
debugfs: Directory 'dwc3.0.auto' with parent 'ulpi' already present!
tusb1210 dwc3.0.auto.ulpi: error -110 writing val 0x41 to reg 0x80

so yes it seems either 0043b or your patch "usb: dwc3: Don't switch OTG
-> peripheral if extcon is present" is needed to boot (break the
infinite loop). But your patch is in my case not sufficient to make host
mode work.

As I understand it depends a bit on the timing, I might have a different
initrd (built by Yocto vs. Buildroot). F.i. I see I have
extcon-intel-mrfld in initrd and dwc3 / phy-tusb1210 built-in.
