Subject: [PATCH] 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:

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