[PATCH v3] usb: cdns3: use VBUS Valid to determine role for dr_mode OTG

The cdns3_bind() function is responsible for identifying the appropriate
driver to bind to the USB Controller's device-tree node. If the device-tree
node has the 'dr_mode' property set to 'otg', the existing approach fails
to bind a driver, leading to loss of functionality.
To address this, use the VBUS Valid field of the OTG Status register to
determine the role as follows:
- If VBUS Valid field is set, it indicates that a USB Host is supplying
power and the Controller should assume the Peripheral role.
- If VBUS Valid field is clear, it indicates the absence of a USB Host and
the Controller should assume the Host role.
Additionally, when 'dr_mode' happens to be 'otg' and the STRAP settings
are not specified, use VBUS Valid to determine the role in cdns3_drd_init()
and assign it to cdns->dr_mode.

Hello,
This patch is based on commit
f9ffeec4bdc board: toradex: Make A53 get RAM size from DT in K3 boards
of the master branch of U-Boot.
v2 of this patch is at:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260213051556.1247716-1-s-vadapalli@ti.com/
Changes since v2:
- Based on feedback from Marek, a temporary child udevice has been
created in cdns3_get_otg_mode() to use devfdt_remap_addr_name(),
instead of implementing custom equivalent of devfdt_remap_addr_name().
Test logs on J784S4 EVM:

Regards,
Siddharth.
