Marcel doesn't like the fact that Gadget mode will cause the keyboard and mouse to not work on the usb port. I wonder if I can get Script/gadget.sh to detect that it has been enabled to avoid the problem.

It turns out that the only part users should need to change is config.txt by commenting #dtoverlay=dwg2.
The old instructions saying to add it to /etc/modules seem to be now out of date. The overlay automatically loads the dwg2 kernel module which I can then detect.

I can't quite figure out how to enable/disable the getty most efficiently (see 01b3a189ed) I think they need to be restarted after gadget.sh but this needs more testing.

I want there to be logged information, so it also calls logger to dump it into the journalctl database (see 39c0f158fe). So far it seems to work on linux to comment and uncomment the line in config.txt
