Yes, otherwise, the device which the udc is probed deferral and the
gadget driver is build-in will never work. If we skip fixing it, this
problem will exist for more than 2 years, it is too long.

I have a support request from android team that usb peripheral function
never works from 3.10.x kernel at one device, I think it is a common problem,
no only I meet it.

Below are links which this problem reports:

Robert Baldyga posts the similar solution, but seems Felipe doesn't
agree it.

Then, you and Felipe has a discussion for this problem:
