USB function drivers like ECM or HID surely doesn't. It looks like
there's assumption that all requests will be completed by UDC driver.

Function ep_disable() should complete requests in hardware driver, but
at least in DWC2 driver not all requests are completed at this stage
(request which are in hardware FIFO are omitted to give them chance to
be transferred). Those requests are forced to complete in udc_stop()
function, and that's why it's needed to be called before unbind.

Hmm, indeed it can be problem.
