My point is not about which mode is currently chosen.  It's more about
the capability of choosing which mode is appropriate for a given
system via DT.

OTG doesn't work on this H/W, so we need to specify "host" mode.

That's correct.

No problem.

This implementation only affects ACPI based platforms.  When booting
with DT, the description in that DT related document is still
accurate.

ACPI based platforms?

All the ones I've seen use the XHCI USB driver directly ("PNP0D10").
