You never know when she is ready... ;)

Please note, that in the example implementation it is userspace
who needs to explicitly store "1" into the "connect" attribute;
if it is not set, connecting the cable will have no effect and,
conversely, if the cable is connected but the "1" is not stored,
the gadget will not be seen by the host.

maybe we should rename "connect" here to "ready" or "available". It
seems to cause confusion.
