Okay, we need a little more explanation. In order to have a gadget
driver like g_zero loaded, you need a USB peripheral controller (in your
case, that's handled by dummy).

Now, when you want that g_zero to be useful, you need to plug it to a
USB host controller (in your case, that's also handled by dummy).

What I'm saying, though, is that this dummy (dummy_hcd.c) can only
handle ONE gadget (a fake USB peripheral controller) at a time. It does
NOT instantiate more than one of those. Because of that, there's no way
to get g_zero to probe for a second time.

In fact, even if you were to patch dummy_hcd.c to instantiate N gadgets,
you wouldn't be able to use g_zero.ko, and would be required to rely on
our configfs interface for dynamically generating and binding different
gadget drivers to each of your gadget instances, but that's another
story altogether.
