That's true but even without this patch user may build multiple
gadgets as a modules.

Even more, after commit (855ed04 "usb: gadget: udc-core: independent
registration of
gadgets and gadget drivers") it is possible to load multiple gadget
modules even if we have one UDC.

So why would you like to disallow building in multiple gadgets if user
can build them as a modules and simply load?

If you concern about order of probing and binding to udc, I think that
we can add udc module param to all legacy gadgets so user can specify
in kernel cmd line where each gadget should be bound.
