Ok, I see, it only changes current limit at function usb_gadget_vbus_draw
in your patch 2/4. Then, we need to make sure usb_charger_set_cur_limit_by_type
is called before calling usb_gadget_set_state(gadget, USB_STATE_CONFIGURED).

It seems you have not implemented usb_charger_plug_by_gadget in your patch set.
