You started with an incomplete interface which lacks something as you describe it essential and you documented it ABI. Now you try to duct-tape it somewhere so you don't break the ABI you created? So you have two ways to get out of it: - ignore this special case ABI breakage you came up with - drop "usb-gadget" (or deprecate it) and use usb-gadget2 instead with available_functions This reached kindergaden level by now.
