Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/4] USB: gadget: Create a bus for gadgets

Everyone:

The following series of patches implements Greg's suggestion that 
gadgets should be registered on some sort of bus.  It turns out that the 
best way to do this is to create a new "gadget" bus, with specialized 
matching and probing routines, rather than using an existing bus.

Patches 1-3 are simple preparations for the big change.  They stand on 
their own, make useful little changes, and could be merged by themselves
without committing to adding the "gadget" bus.  Patch 4 is main one.

I'm posting this series for feedback from the Gadget/UDC maintainer and 
others.  If everything works out okay, the patches can be submitted for 
real once the upcoming merge window closes.
