Already there are platform specific EP handling code for other
platforms in epautoconf.c file in usb_ep_autoconfig().
Adding a new  gadget_ops is based on a comment in 
usb_ep_autoconfig(). Instead of changing the code in 
epautoconf.c as done for few platforms, we thought it's a 
good idea to add a gadget_ops so that each platform
can handle their EP configuration stuffs in their 
platform files.

fifo_mode table is a onetime configuration during initialization. We
can't optimize this table for different USB configurations(like MSC,
serial, ECM as one config and ECM, serial as another config) 
which user can change at run time by doing soft disconnect and 
re-connect with a new configuration.

In ux500, we would like handle EP configurations separately 
for the following reasons:
* Allocate smaller than 512 bytes max packet EP to interrupt EP.
* Allocate a particular EP for a particular class.
This is mainly for allocating a double buffered and 
DMA capable EP for a particular class like MSC...
* Any other platform specific checks...
