Research direction

Locate bcmrpi_defconfig and compare it with the new Pi 4 kernel configuration, focusing on CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS. Confirm that enabling it provides the configfs composite gadget modes needed on the Pi Zero, while preserving the existing legacy gadget configuration.

Description

Waiting for external input

This configuration is included in the new Pi 4 kernel but not the Pi Zero kernel.

It is needed for the new composite gadget modes defined through configfs. Without it we can only use the legacy drivers like g_serial and g_webcam which can only work one at a time.
