I don't think anyone should care about the state transitions themselves,
only current state. Unless we want to have some tool which makes sure
device transitions through all states properly...

aaa, that's true. I was considering the possibility of someone adding a
usb_gadget_set_state() call on their ->release() method, but I guess
that would be a much bigger bug then the one I ended up causing :-)

Here's a newer version:

commit 766ed104b6f420dc7587a63dc1679f78176d082e

    usb: gadget: udc-core: move sysfs_notify() to a workqueue
    
    usb_gadget_set_state() will call sysfs_notify()
    which might sleep. Some users might want to call
    usb_gadget_set_state() from the very IRQ handler
    which actually changes the gadget state.
    
    Instead of having every UDC driver add their own
    workqueue for such a simple notification, we're
    adding it generically to our struct usb_gadget,
    so the details are hidden from all UDC drivers.
