Absolutely, I want something thats works well in the kernel and doesn't
look odd to kernel USB people.

This confirms what I have seen in the kernel and the reason I added a
status request so I can know the result of the operation the device has
performed.

I have a problem that I've encountered with this status request.
In my first version the gadget would usb_ep_queue() the status value
when the operation was done and as long as this happended within the
host timeout (5s) everything worked fine.

Then I hit a 10s timeout in the gadget when performing a display modeset
operation (wait on missing vblank). The result of this was that the host
timed out and moved on. The gadget however didn't know that the host
gave up, so it queued up the status value. The result of this was that
all further requests from the host would time out.
Do you know a solution to this?
My work around is to just poll on the status request, which returns a
value immediately, until there's a result. The udc driver I use is dwc2.
