This clearly is a bug.  I suspect the driver has other bugs too, such
as not holding the private lock over a large enough region.

The correct solution is to set

	qh = ep->hcpriv;
	udev = qh->udev;

However, the driver doesn't store udev in qh (dwc2_qh_init() should do
this, but it doesn't).  In fact, the field doesn't even exist.
