@Randy:

There is a patch for this:

I guess you acked it.

@Feilpe, Greg:

FYI: The text was taken from Gadget Zero (zero.c) and was originally
written by David Brownell, may he Rest in Peace.

I think that the #include approach is intended to be revised sometime:

just one gadget module configurable through configfs, the things will
probably be simplified.
