Do it in your gadget driver's disconect() method.  Just call
vbus_draw(100).  You need to know when disconnects occur anyway,
because your driver has to reinitialize itself.

IMO it's a bug if the controller driver doesn't reduce the current draw
back to 100 mA after a disconnect/reconnect cycle.  (It also is up to
the controller driver to reduce the draw during a USB suspend.)

This bug may be present in many of the drivers.  A little auditing 
would be in order.
