This can be __initdata, can't it?

I thought about usb_composite_drivers, too, and wondered if it would be
sensible to change the additional argument of usb_gadget_probe_driver to
struct usb_gadget_probe_data *probe_data.  Then you could do the
following

	struct usb_composite_probe_data {
		struct usb_gadget_probe_data usb_probe_data;
		int (*composite_gadget_bind)(struct usb_composite_dev *);
	}

and in composite_bind use container_of to get the gadget_bind function.

Maybe that's overengineered though.  As there is already a dependency on
a global variable (i.e. composite) your patch doesn't make it much
worse.  Just my 0.02€.
 
Best regards
Uwe
