Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] usb: dwc3: gadget: Revert "set gadgets parent to the right controller"

The commit c6e23b89a95d ("usb: dwc3: gadget: set gadgets parent to the right
controller") changed the device for the UDC and broke the user space scripts
that instantiate the USB gadget(s) via ConfigFS.

Revert it for now until the better solution will be proposed.

I confirm this regression on Intel Edison since at least 5.15-rc2 while
in 5.14.0 it was working fine.

This patch resolves the issue as tested on 5.15-rc4.

NACK! Why should we resolv an issue by reverting it to solve not working
userspace. We already have this patch as a solution for solving a deeper
Problem, regarding the allocator addressing the right device.

>>Revert it for now until the better solution will be proposed.

So, I think fixing the userspace would be the right fix, not changing
the kernel. Otherwise we should find a proper solution.

Huh?!

It is
a) used to work;
b) stopped working after your commit.

To me it's a clear regression. Whatever deeper problem is there, I
really don't care. The change broke my _user space_ case!

Then rework it. You have still time. Your case wasn't working and one
more release of not working is not an issue here.

Huh?!

So, please do. v5.15 should still work on our devices with
distribution that uses ConfigFS, no?

heh, there is only one rule in this community: thou shalt not break
userspace :-)

We only really have one rule in Linux kernel development:

If a kernel change breaks userspace, the kernel change needs to
be reverted.

Go fix up the userspace tools first, ensure everyone has updated, and
then we can consider taking the change back into the kernel tree.
