As I pointed out previously, the crash is probably because of f_uac2
prematurely freeing feedback request before its completion.
usb_ep_dequeue() is asynchronous. dwc2() may treat it as a synchronous
call so you didn't get a crash.

I'm not sure how easy it is for you to obtain/test a device with dwc3,
but it would be great to also have it as part of your testing suite. :)
