I think you are wrong. The UDC core calls ->pullup from the
usb_gadget_disconnect() routine, but it does not call ->disconnect from
that routine.
Furthermore, there is an advantage to having the UDC driver call
->disconnect from within its ->pullup method: It can retain its private
spinlock across the ->disconnect call. This will help prevent races.
For example, what would happen if ->disconnect was called while a
->setup callback was in progress? Or vice versa?
