In my opinion all things which you have described are working out-of-box
when you use configfs interface. It's mostly ready so you may create
equivalent of most legacy gadgets (apart from printer and tcm) and
just bind from one udc to another whenever you want.

It's because legacy gadgets are easy to use and usually don't need any
userspace-side configuration. Are there any plans to remove legacy
drivers in the future?


I'm not going to express strong opinions here, but their name implies
that this can happen, some time in the future.

And I also think it will not happen before the userspace part
(libusbg, gt, gadgetd etc) is mature enough. My personal opinion
in that matter is that it will take at least a couple of years
to remove legacy gadgets entirely.
