Not sure if I am misunderstanding something.
"udc->vbus = true" is set by usb_udc_vbus_handler based on invocation
from the chip level gadget driver and gadget_bind_driver() does not
seem to have the context for udc->vbus.
Do you still think it makes sense to add  "udc->vbus = true;" to
gadget_bind_driver() ?

Good point ! I didn't notice  that usb_udc_vbus_handler()  is invoked
from interrupt context as well.
I was looking at turning connect_lock into a spin lock. But looks like
udc_lock which is acquired
in usb_gadget_disconnect_locked is a mutex, So keeping connect_lock as
mutex and changing
vbus_events_lock into spin_lock is what that seems to be possible.
Sending out V2 of this patch
with these changes so that it's easier to see what I am referring to.
Eager to know your thoughts !

Thanks,
Badhri
