Please use this: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg83460.html Please note that patch #7 has been fixed by replying to the original post with its message-id. I think it is more acceptable to provide a small but more-or-less complete solution and I intend to do further works in a manner demonstrated in the above mentioned thread. That is, to do conversion to new function interface and addition of configfs support in functions which constitute a given "old" gadget. The mentioned thread does this for g_serial. Then for example USB Ethernet gadgets (g_ncm, g_ether, g_cdc) can follow, then mass storage, then g_multi, g_acm_ms, g_ffs and so on. This way one patch series will be dedicated to achieving the goal of one "old" gadget with configfs. And we avoid very long series of ~50 patches or so.
