This comment could be edited a little better. It should start with a
capital letter, and there should be a period at the end of the first
line. There is an extra "to" before "place to emulate". The last
sentence isn't really needed.

Also, you could be more specific. The call to synchronize_irq() which
we want to emulate is the one in usb_gadget_remove_driver(). And the
reason we want to do it before the unbind callback is because unbind
shouldn't be invoked until all the other callbacks are finished.

Once those changes are made, you can add:
