Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: cdns3: gadget: fix state inconsistency on gadget init failure
When cdns3_gadget_start() fails, the DRD hardware is left in gadget mode
while software state remains INACTIVE, creating hardware/software state
inconsistency.
When switching to host mode via sysfs:
echo host > /sys/class/usb_role/13180000.usb-role-switch/role
The role state is not set to CDNS_ROLE_STATE_ACTIVE due to the error,
so cdns_role_stop() skips cleanup because state is still INACTIVE.
This violates the DRD controller design specification (Figure22),
which requires returning to idle state before switching roles.
This leads to a synchronous external abort in xhci_gen_setup() when
setting up the host controller:
[ 516.440698] configfs-gadget 13180000.usb: failed to start g1: -19

Fix by calling cdns_drd_gadget_off() in the error path to properly
clean up the DRD gadget state.
