I'm not so sure where these names are coming from.
`git grep '"gadget"'` points to the following likely targets:
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c: dev_set_name(&gadget->dev, "gadget");
drivers/usb/renesas_usbhs/mod_gadget.c: gpriv->mod.name = "gadget";
Changing both names reveals the problem is actually caused by
the former ;-)
