It's a work around suggested by Pavel, a line that can be added to 
configfs script.

A fix has appeared:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/1jfsuvw817.fsf@starbuckisacylon.baylibre.com/T/#m922149b7e74204c8ed1bed2c624910ab4eafd43c

This has been acked by Felipe. If we can get that in 5.14.0 it would be 
preferable to reverting this series.
