What kernel/branch was this targetting?

I have nothing to do with the beagleboard but I had the same issue with another board (I ended up on this page while looking for a solution).

The solution is written in the Linux kernel: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.txt

Following your kernel version, you have either 1 or 2 solutions:

• Prior to v3.19: you need to add a struct platform_device to your platform code
• From 3.19, you can either add a struct platform_device to your platform code or set your USB Gadget HID configuration in ConfigFS
