Nyan boards only have host USB ports (2 external, 1 internal), there is
no OTG-enabled connector.

Where is this information coming from? I don't have one of the Nyans
myself, but one of the Tegra132 devices I have, which I think was
derived from one of the Nyans uses one of the external host ports as
forced recovery port, for which it would need OTG.

I suspect that the way to get U-Boot onto the Nyans is via tegrarcm?
In that case I think one of the ports must be OTG.
It is true that the port on the back on the nyan-big can be used with
recovery mode. I was thinking that this is not a true OTG port as it is
just a 4-pin type A socket and does not have an ID pin. Thinking some
more about this the USB spec does include a "Host Negotiation Protocol
(HNP)" that allows a host and device to swap roles and so keeping it as
OTG seems valid afterall.
I don't think the bootrom implements that though. I expect recovery mode
to just program the controller in device mode, without performing any
negotiation.
That would make sense.

However, if there's a way (even not implemented yet, but a possible way) to have
the kernel configure this port as USB device instead of host dynamically (e.g.
without changing this bit in the dts), then I think it makes sense to keep the
OTG marking and drop this patch.

After all, switching to USB device mode doesn't necessarily have to come from
the ID pin.
