Subject[PATCH 2/9] scripts/modpost: add a exception for USB gadget drivers
Date
The "driver" struct for a gadget driver is named *_driver. On module
load, the gadget expects a UDC driver to be loaded and avaiable. If this
is not the case => -ENODEV and bye bye. That means that the gadget
driver is initialized immediately. The initialization process includes
calling ->bind() for the gadget driver. Therefore it is okay to put this
in __init. It will never be called again, we don't (yet) allow two
gadgets of the same kind to be ->bind() again.

Commit 07a18bd716 ("usb gadget: don't save bind callback in struct
usb_composite_driver") move the ->bind() member from the struct to an
argument.
I'm reverting this and adding this exception. For g_zero we save around
400bytes. I'm not having the conversion about how important it is to
save 400 bytes. I wait for configfs interface for the gadget subsystem.
This will remove the __init from the ->bind() because we will be able to
call ->bind() more than once and _after_ the init has been dropped.
