Because usb_function.name and usb_function_driver.name are not the
same, this function could not be exported to userspace through the USB
config fs before. Previously, the source/sink was used by g_zero
legacy, so I will make adjustments in the next patch version by
changing the function name to "sourcesink". Do you think this is okay?
