Makes sense. I'll try it with your repo, and regenerate.

I just tried the patch on your git.kernel.org repo and thankfully there 
is only one hunk which is rejected, and fortunately the reason is 
trivial (descriptors -> fs_descriptors).

Was:
-        func->function.descriptors = data->fs_descs;
+        func->function.descriptors = fs_descs;

Now is:
-        func->function.fs_descriptors = data->fs_descs;
+        func->function.fs_descriptors = fs_descs;

I will regenerate the patch set, but obviously the new gadget patch in 
the V3 patchset will only apply to the USB repo, and not to the 
netfilter repo.

Thanks,

Behan
