BTW, I just found another bug in mv_u3d_core.c, here's a patch:

From f6bb304cff095219ecfa6daa082ea834a9cf52bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: mv_u3d_core: don't call ->disconnect() from
 stop_activity()

mv_u3d_stop_activity() should not be calling ->disconnect()
directly as udc-core will already handle that for us.

Completely untested. It's clear that mv u3d driver
shouldn't be calling gadget_driver->disconnect()
at that time, but perhaps there are other bugs in the
driver which this will uncover.
