This code does:

	spin_unlock_irq(&udc->ud.lock);
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&udc->lock, flags);

which does not make sense.  In theory, the first unlock could enable
IRQs and then the second _irqrestore could disable them again.  There
would be a brief momemt where IRQs were enabled improperly.

In real life, however, this function is always called with IRQs enabled
and the bug does not affect runtime.

An alternative fix would be to make changes below and also change the
outside _irqsave/_irqrestore() to just _irq().  However, that's more
invasive and riskier with no upside.


Thank you for the patch.
