Not in the Allwinner MUSB driver, but indeed the gadget support in U-Boot
has changed since then.

Yes apparently he needs it, though I am not entirely sure why.
USB gadget has worked for ages in sunxi, without DM_USB_GADGET support,
that's why I was a bit puzzled why this patch seems so important.

And secondly I was put off by John's initial reply that it would trigger
many USB errors for him. He later rectified it, but I must have missed
that message.

I think board_usb_init() comes from the old days, to provide hooks in case
certain boards need something special to enable USB, like an extra
regulator, power domain or clock to toggle. These days this should all be
covered by DT properties, so we should not (and do not!) need it.
And there is an empty fallback implementation in common/usb.c.

Mmh, was that so? None of them seemed to call usb_gadget_initialize(),
though? I checked older releases, but usb_gadget_initialize() seemed to
have always been called by the respective gadget code (fastboot, ums,
ethernet)?

That's what triggered my confusion: there is no sunxi board as such that
implements board_usb_init(), and with our USB PHY code being DT driven, we
should not need it anyway.
There are empty fallback implementations in common/usb.c and
drivers/usb/gadget/g_dnl.c, and we pick up one of them, given the right
Kconfig symbols defined.

I just tried it: enabling the "ums" command, and it worked:

$ make orangepi_zero3_defconfig
$ scripts/config --enable CONFIG_CMD_USB_MASS_STORAGE
$ make olddefconfig
$ make

then, on the U-Boot prompt:
=> ums 0 mmc 0
and the SD card block device popped up on my host.

(That the ums command is useful enough to be enabled by default is a
separate story).
Gadget Ethernet and fastboot are even enabled by default, so whenever you
have a defconfig with CONFIG_USB_MUSB_GADGET=y, you should get this
functionality.

So can anyone tell why this patch is needed so desperately?

See above.
So I think the only reason to *not* have DM_USB_GADGET in general is
because some driver is not ready for that yet, or there is some odd device
that requires some extra hacks that the DM implementation does not cover.

So with this patch we remove those reasons for sunxi, AFAICT. The Allwinner
MUSB driver is now DM ready, so there is no reason to not set it. Think of
it more as we are now declaring the sunxi MUSB driver as DM ready. That's
why I want to see it set unconditionally, as it's not a user choice per se.

Eventually this DM specific symbol will go away at some point, as it did
for other subsystems like Ethernet already.

Funny enough I had these extra words, but then deleted them in fear it
would sound too patronising for this obvious typo ;-)

So I gave it a spin on my OPi Zero 3. It seems to work(TM), although I
need to stop the connection to the Ethernet gadget:

=> ums 0 mmc 0
UMS: LUN 0, dev mmc 0, hwpart 0, sector 0x0, count 0x3af000
All UDCs in use (1 available), use the unbind command
g_dnl_register: failed!, error: -19
g_dnl_register failed
=> unbind ethernet 1
=> ums 0 mmc 0
=> ums 0 mmc 0
UMS: LUN 0, dev mmc 0, hwpart 0, sector 0x0, count 0x3af000
(works and waits at this point)

This seems like a quite annoying limitation, if anyone has an idea what
should be done here, I am all ears. Maybe dropping the default Ethernet
connection?

Thanks!
