This\nresults in a regression where the DHCP server fails on pmOS.\n\nUse device_move to reparent the net_device between the gadget device and\n/sys/devices/virtual/ across bind/unbind cycles. This preserves the\nnetwork interface across USB reconnection, allowing the DHCP server to\nretain their binding.\n\nIntroduce gether_attach_gadget()/gether_detach_gadget() helpers and use\n__free(detach_gadget) macro to undo attachment on bind failure. The\nbind_count ensures device_move executes only on the first bind.\n\n[1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/f2a4f9847617a0929d62025748384092e5f35cce.camel@crapouillou.net/\n[2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/795ea759-7eaf-4f78-81f4-01ffbf2d7961@ixit.cz/"
