This is not how many gadgets seem to work at least as
far as the iManufacturer is concerned which is usually built
at run-time as "Linux <version> with <gadget-name>".

The patch does not change the behaviour of the gadget since all
it does is take advantage of code put in composite.c in the 1/2
patch.  Therefore, modified gadgets will still use the same
strings only code that handles string ID reservation is placed in
composite.c now (since it needs to be there to fix the module
parameters anyway).

/me ashamed

Obviously, you're absolutely right.  I left the XXX mark to remember
to clear the situation with the IDs but then completely forgot about
it after g_multi got pulled. (It's especially bad since there is a
conflict with hid.c).

So, to fix the situation, I need to ask Greg for the IDs?
