We've run in to the same issue with our usb_gadget_driver.

If the usb_gadget_disconnect() API function, which seems like it is
intended to be called by the gadget_driver, does cause the gadget to
disconnect, it seems reasonable to expect the gadget or the UDC core
to notify the gadget_driver via the callback.

As you mentioned this is handled in the soft_disconnect sysfs. Why
shouldn't usb_gadget_disconnect() do the same thing, if not the gadget
itself? Exposing the sysfs as an API function would work too. Though
both functions are "soft" disconnects and both are called
"disconnect".

In our gadget_driver we do the workaround where we notify ourself that
we called the usb_gadget_disconnect() and that we should now be
disconnected. It just seems more correct that we shouldn't have to
handle that.

By the way, I'm not completely sure of the correct terminology, but
I'm referring to the struct usb_gadget (dwc3, dwc2, etc) as the
"gadget" and the struct usb_gadget_driver as the "gadget_driver"
(normally this would be the composite gadget framework, but we are
using our own driver in this case). Is there a less confusing way to
refer to these :)
