Exactly, and this is why it should be done in the board DT.

The controller in the Allwinner SoCs do not handle directly the ID pin
and VBUS, but rather rely on a GPIO to do so.

So boards with OTG will need setup anyway, at least to tell which
GPIOs are used. There's no point in enforcing a default if it doesn't
work by default.
