States in gadget are not needed any more, set it to zero.

It's generally a good practice to mention in the commit message what is
it that you are fixing with this patch.

It fixes the following dump if udc_start register gadget->dev but fail
the start process:
kobject (bf8330a0): tried to init an initialized object, something is seriously wrong.

I understand that you're probably hitting "kobject already initialized"
warning here, but I think the real problem is that this function gets
called twice and fails the first time. Why does that happen?

I saw the dump at early stage of adding imx otg support, when there's
things not ready. I think it's less important why udc_start fail,
because no one enable imx otg before.  It's important when it fails,
the dump shows up.

Thanks
Richard

In any case, please elaborate on the problem.
