Thanks for your suggestions.

So if I want to use the cdns3 usb node as both usb gadget device and usb host device,
do you mean that I should make the cdns3 usb node as a usb wrapper device, and create two subnodes in it.
Then when binding the wrapper node, it will hard-coded the two subnodes to different driver(gadge/host driver) 
according to the dr_mode property in nodes.
