I think this is the way to go, giving the userspace maximum control
over what's going on. Seems not too hard to implement too. The only
part that is not clear to me is how to figure out the endpoint address
that a particular UDC endpoint expects to have.

Most of the time endpoints are named as something like "ep1in" or
"ep2out", and AFAIU the number in the endpoint name is the address.
However net2280 seems to have weird endpoint names "ep-a", "ep-b",
etc. Looking at usb_ep_autoconfig_ss(), those endpoints supposedly
have sequential addresses starting from 1 (for each in/out type). But
then in the GadgetFS example [1] e.g. "ep-a" corresponds to address 7,
which I don't understand. My guess is that this is done to handle both
dummy_udc and net2280 in a single if case, but I'm not sure.
