Then add "udc->vbus = true;" at the appropriate spot in 
gadget_bind_driver().

PS: I just noticed that in max3420_udc.c, the max_3420_vbus_handler() 
function calls usb_udc_vbus_handler() from within an interrupt handler.  
This won't work, since interrupt handlers aren't allowed to sleep and 
therefore can't lock mutexes.
