Split out _usb_eth_start() from _usb_eth_init() and usb_eth_stop() from _usb_eth_halt(). Now _usb_eth_init() only initialises and registers the gadget device, which _usb_eth_halt() reverses, and together are used for probing and removing the device. The _usb_eth_start() and _usb_eth_stop() functions connect and disconnect the gadget as expected by the start()/stop() callbacks.
Previously the gadget device was probed on every start() and removed on every stop(), which is inconsistent with other DM_ETH drivers. For non-DM gadget drivers the old behaviour has been retained.
Does this mean the udevice pointer and associated private date are retained during the entire operation of the USB gadget , i.e. even between stop/start cycles ?
