The problem we're seeing was mentioned in the summary of this patch
series, issue #1. Basically, with the following patch
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-usb/patch/20210628155311.16762-6-m.grzeschik@pengutronix.de/
integrated a smmu panic is occurring on our Android device with the 5.15
kernel which is:

<3>[ 718.314900][ T803] arm-smmu 15000000.apps-smmu: Unhandled arm-smmu context fault from a600000.dwc3!

The uvc gadget driver appears to be the first (and only) gadget that
uses the no_interrupt=1 logic, so this seems to be a new condition for
the dwc3 driver. In our configuration, we have up to 64 requests and the
no_interrupt=1 for up to 15 requests. The list size of dep->started_list
would get up to that amount when looping through to cleanup the
completed requests. From testing and debugging the smmu panic occurs
when a -EXDEV status shows up and right after
dwc3_gadget_ep_cleanup_completed_request() was visited. The conclusion
we had was the requests were getting returned to the gadget too early.

Interesting, the device is not disconnected as we don't get the
-ESHUTDOWN status back and with this patch in place things continue
after a -EXDEV status is received.

Hmm, isn't that what happens when we get into this
condition in dwc3_gadget_endpoint_trbs_complete():

if (usb_endpoint_xfer_isoc(dep->endpoint.desc) &&
list_empty(&dep->started_list) &&
(list_empty(&dep->pending_list) || status == -EXDEV))
dwc3_stop_active_transfer(dep, true, true);

Appreciate the support!
