Public bug reported: I am using Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB) and want to make use of the OTG functionality (g_ether). I cross checked with Raspbian to make sure it is not a hardware issue. Extract from dmesg of Ubuntu 19.10.1 with latest updates applied as of Jan 26th, 2020 via "apt-get update" and "apt-get full-upgrade":

[ 111.796714] udc-core: couldn't find an available UDC - added [g_ether] to list of pending drivers I think it is that "Configuration mismatch. dr_mode forced to host" log entry telling me that the port is acting as HOST mode instead of OTG mode. I have try putting these in usercfg.txt "dtoverlay=dwc2" "dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=otg" "dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=peripheral" and it will give the same result, no OTG functionality. On the same hardware running Raspbian Buster, it initialise successfully. Corresponding dmesg: ...
