Other options are:
1. pre-program endpoints so the setting covers all gadget
configurations, it seems it's feasible. The only appreciable
change is, CDC Ethernet config number should be 3 instead of 1.
It should not break anything.
2. Implement a FAKE call of GET_CONFIGURATION command so upon
gadget binding you can issue the command and program endpoints
according to the received gadget configuration.
Also, considering that PXA3XX processors include PXA27x-compatible
USB device controller it makes sense to develop a driver that
will support both processor families. Hopefully PXA3XX arch
support will be merged some day (the arch support has been already
submitted here, but I don't know about its current status).
