Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] usb: gadget: dummy_hcd: coding style improvements

This patch series focuses on addressing various coding style issues in
the dummy_hcd USB gadget driver. The changes includes adding relevant
comments, improving readability, and ensuring consistency with kernel
coding conventions.

Clint George (6):
  usb: gadget: dummy_hcd: replace symbolic permissions (S_IRUGO) with octal (0444)
  usb: gadget: dummy_hcd: use 'unsigned int' instead of bare 'unsigned'
  usb: gadget: dummy_hcd: document ISO endpoint allocation pattern
  usb: gadget: dummy_hcd: use sizeof(*ptr) instead of sizeof *ptr
  usb: gadget: dummy_hcd: remove unnecessary parentheses
  usb: gadget: dummy_hcd: move function braces

Testing:
- Ran compiler testing with no new warnings detected.
- Ensured the module builds and inserts cleanly without issues.
- Used Static Analysis tools to confirm no new issues were introduced.

Please review the changes and let me know if any modifications
or further testing of the module is required.

As part of my LKMP mentorship i have to complete 5 patches as a criteria
for graduation and thus have focused on working on such
beginner-friendly patches so that not only do i get the required number
of patches but also get familiar with the process of kernel
developement. Thus, while this patch series doesn't address the max_stream value
exceeding problem that triggers the BUG() API, i will take some time to
dig deeper and truly understand the problem and fix it and not just
paper-over the problem.

Again, i am very grateful for your feedback greg and alan to guide a
beginner like me. 

Thanks,
Clint
