[PATCH v3 1/2] usb: dwc3-generic: allow fallback of dr_mode property to "otg"

Documentation [1] states that the default value of the dr_mode property
is "otg". It also isn't marked a mandatory node, so it may or may not be
set. So, accordingly if dr_mode is not mentioned in the devicetree node,
OTG mode must be assumed.

In this driver however, this case is not handled. If dr_mode is not
mentioned, USB_DR_MODE_UNKNOWN is set. The logic implemented raises an
error, instead of falling back to USB_DR_MODE_OTG. Correct this to
conform to the specification.
