USB gadget mode on qualcomm laptops basically just works (only gotta change dr_mode = "host" to dr_mode = "otg" in the DT, will submit a patch now) \o/ absolutely no cursed hacks required

three terminal panes, top is host dmesg showing an entire USB host getting plugged and unplugged; middle showing dmesg on another system with a cdc_acm popping up with 'Product: UwU', 'Manufacturer: OwO' and then a `cat /dev/ttyACM0` with "meow" output; bottom is a picocom tty connection showing the meows being typed
