Lookup is done afterwards though, so it's not an issue, but that's
beside the point.

Yes, with serial == 0 g_ffs gets a bit tricky, but all that it would
really need is

#define GFFS_FIRST_FFS_STRING_IDX 3

and than the loop would have [i + GFFS_FIRST_FFS_STRING_IDX]

I would actually consider doing the following:
- first, if module parameter is given, overwrite [num].s,
- than, if [num].s is not empty, overwrite desc.iSerial with [num].id.

This way, gadget would set [num].s to whatever they want as the default
and if user does not provide module parameter, that would be used.  With
module parameter, this gadget's default is overwritten and what user
specifies is used.

Furthermore, for manufacturer if [num+1].s is empty, overwrite it with
a gadget's default; and for product, if [num+2].s is empty, overwrite it
with driver->name.
