Surely that is the wrong approach.

The real problem here is that usb_udc_vbus_handler() gets called from
within a udc_start routine. But this is totally unnecessary, because
the UDC core will call usb_udc_connect_control_locked() itself, later on
during gadget_bind_driver().

So a proper solution would be simply to remove the unnecessary
usb_udc_vbus_handler() call from the chipidea driver (and similarly for
the max3420_udc driver).

Similar changes may be needed in these drivers' udc_stop routines.
