that was the idea, glad you liked it ;-)

yeah, rx fifos are dynamically allocated by the HW itself, AFAICT.

I'll think about adding these but for the lifetime of requests and trbs
and events, etc, we have tracepoints for that. I usually do the
following when debugging:

# mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo 2048 > buffer_size_kb
# echo 1 > events/dwc3/enable

(do something to break it)

# cp trace /mnt/sdcard # or something like that

then read the file. You can make it as large or as small as you like
(given some constraints, of course ;-) but I've had no issues allocating
128MiB in the past.
