As shown in the schematic diagram below.There may be a critical scenario in the current code. If the device does not receive an pure ack sent by the host due to insufficient receive buffer or other reasons and triggers a retransmission, the host will always be in an 'out-of-order' state.The state machine will get stuck. host device SEQ3,ACK4 ---------> <--------- SEQ4,ACK4 pure ACK ---------> (not received) (out-of-order) <--------- SEQ4,ACK4(retransmission) ........ (out-of-order) <--------- SEQ4,ACK4(retransmission) According to the description in the core specification: "whenever a reliable packet is received, an acknowledgment shall be generated." we should set H5_TX_ACK_REQ bit to trigger retransmission of pure ack packet when "out-of-order" occurs.
