that's a bug on those drivers :-)

and that's a bug on dwc2 :-)

that's wrong, we're disabling the endpoint anyway. Either dwc2 needs to
wait_for_completion() or forcibly cancel the request. The bottom line is
that control should not exit ep_disable() until all requests have been
quiesced.

yes, it will be :-)
