Well, when we see the WARN_ON, it doesn't connect into usb-gadget
mode. I had to unplug and re-plug the cable.
(The hack I linked to above avoids this, but I suspect its not correct).

Also Amit Pundir had mentioned earlier that the UDC sysfs state
doesn't get reported correctly since it doesn't register the
usb-gadget as unplugged until the cable is re-inserted.

(Basically that and the two suspend fixes I sent along in this patchset :).

I'd be happy to test anything you're playing with.
