The Gadget API has a theoretical race when a gadget driver is unbound. Although the pull-up is turned off before the driver's ->unbind callback runs, if the USB cable were to be unplugged at just the wrong moment there would be nothing to prevent the UDC driver from invoking the ->disconnect callback after the unbind has finished. In theory, other asynchronous callbacks could also happen during the time before the UDC driver's udc_stop routine is called, and the gadget driver would not be prepared to handle any of them. We need a way to tell UDC drivers to stop issuing asynchronous (that is, ->suspend, ->resume, ->disconnect, ->reset, or ->setup) callbacks at some point after the pull-up has been turned off and before the ->unbind callback runs. This patch adds a new ->udc_async_callbacks callback to the usb_gadget_ops structure for precisely this purpose, and it adds the corresponding support to the UDC core. Later patches in this series add support for udc_async_callbacks to several UDC drivers.

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.
