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.
