Ah, I see. So they did take the Android driver and change the names to ccg and
then did submit.

Well, we could also try to modify the sysfs names - if there is no change in functions.

How should the names be?

Yes.

That indeed looks good:

https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/experimental/android-3.10-rc5/drivers/usb/gadget/android.c

And my impression is that there have been some significant changes between 3.8 and 3.10 but not as many
from 3.10 to 3.11.

When I find some time I will try this approach and then we see what still needs to be fixed.
