mainlining shenanigans
9b719c7119
Like net2280 (on which it was based), the net2272 UDC driver has a problem with leaking memory along some of its failure pathways. It also has another problem, not previously noted, in that some of the failure pathways will call usb_del_gadget_udc() without first calling usb_add_gadget_udc_release(). And it leaks memory by calling kfree() when it should call put_device(). Until now it has been impossible to handle the memory leaks, because of lack of support in the UDC core for separately initializing and adding gadgets, or for separately deleting and freeing gadgets. An earlier patch in this series adds the necessary support, making it possible to fix the outstanding problems properly. This patch adds an "added" flag to the net2272 structure to indicate whether or not the gadget has been registered (and thus whether or not to call usb_del_gadget()), and it fixes the deallocation issues by calling usb_put_gadget() at the appropriate places. A similar memory leak issue, apparently never before recognized, stems from the fact that the driver never initializes the drvdata field in the gadget's embedded struct device! Evidently this wasn't noticed because the pointer is only ever used as an argument to kfree(), which doesn't mind getting called with a NULL pointer. In fact, the drvdata for gadget device will be written by usb_composite_dev structure if any gadget class is loaded, so it needs to use usb_gadget structure to get net2280 private data.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
