Can you further explain how do you trigger this ? Do I understand
correctly that you composed a gadget using configfs and that gadget has
functionfs + another gadget ?

Then what do you need to do the trigger the issue, and what really _is_
the issue ? Is gadget disconnecting from host too early ? Do you see a
crash ? Memory leak ? Any logs available ? Any steps to reproduce ?

Quite frankly, I don't really like this "zombie" mode. <joke> I know
there's a "The Walking Dead" hype right now, but this is too much.
</joke>

Anyway, please giver me further details of how to get this done.
