This is not the right approach; it might race with the gadget driver 
unregistering itself.

Instead, mtu3_gadget_stop() should call synchronize_irq() after 
releasing the IRQ line.  When synchronize_irq() returns, you'll know any 
IRQ handlers have finished running, so you won't receive any more 
disconnect notifications.  Then it will be safe to acquire the spinlock 
and set mtu->gadget_driver to NULL.
