say your QA team tells you that a particular situation is failing. You
ask them to collect trace events. You'll be glad to see a lot of
information available so you can understand how the device changed
stated as you used it.

They are part of composite_dev, IIRC. They tell you important
information about what is supported by the UDC.

right...

... Then you can access the composite driver and the composite dev to
get more information which may be super useful when debugging some
issues.

Also keep in mind that changing trace events is not so easy since it
sort of becomes an ABI to userspace. Once we expose it, it's a little
harder to modify as there may be parsers depending on the format
(although they shouldn't).

you want to track both show and store.

What if something changes some internal state behind our backs? We'd
like to see that. One way to notice is if some value changes even if
you're just calling the different show methods.
