When to pull-up DP is decided by application (while vbus is on),
not only by driver state machine.

Strictly speaking(OTG spec), all you does is for loc_conn, but you think
it's start_gadget.

Nobody check this "indicator".

Of cos, this is not a big deal, you can define the new API as is,
do udc_start() + gadget_connect() in one shot, it's up to user to
decide if use your usb_otg_start_gadget(), in case of udc_start()
followed by gadget_connect() is not wanted, user can/need do udc_start()
and something else before do gadget_connect.
