Thanks Andrzej & Peter. (Mailbox problem, this email should be out
yesterday)

1. I have setup successfully for running mass storage and CDC ACM at the
same time with below steps:

- Using CDC ACM config (CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_ACM), I thought the gser at
configfs is the same with g_serial, but in fact, it is not. The gser at
configfs seems to work not well at my linux pc, it can't create serial
port, but the acm and g_serial can let the pc create /dev/ttyACM0.

- Create two interfaces at one configurations mkdir
functions/mass_storage.1 echo "/dev/mmcblk0p1" >
functions/mass_storage.1/lun.0/file
ln -s functions/mass_storage.1 configs/c.1 mkdir functions/acm.1 ln -s
functions/acm.1 configs/c.1

- Let udc run
echo ci_hdrc.0 > UDC

At host, I can see both interfaces at one configuration.

2. But when I try to remove one function, it removes two functions
together, does it be expected? Andrzej has answered, it is expected.

root@freescale /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/g1$ rm -rf
configs/c.1/mass_storage .1/ configfs-gadget gadget: unbind function
'acm'/be443e40 configfs-gadget gadget: unbind function 'Mass Storage
Function'/be595280 root@freescale /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/g1$ ls
-l configs/c.1/
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          4096 Apr 30 00:37 MaxPower
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Apr 30 00:39 acm.1 ->
../../../../usb_gadget/g1/functions/acm.1
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          4096 Apr 30 01:02 bmAttributes
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root             0 Apr 30 00:37 strings

3. Besides, I have tried two configurations, and each configuration with
one function, I find the host PC always set configuration 1 (The first
		configuration), any ways to switch configuration at host
side? libusb?

When I tried to delete one un-selected configuration (configuration 2),
the configfs also delete both functions two. Andrzej has answered,
it is expected.

root@freescale /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/g1$ rm -rf
configs/c.2/mass_storage .1/ configfs-gadget gadget: unbind
function 'acm'/beb85180 configfs-gadget gadget: unbind function
'Mass Storage Function'/be524f80
