So we can't make assumptions that requests will be completed in
ep_disable()?

I have already found that out. Another UDC drivers simply kill all
request without waiting for currently running, so I did the same in
DWC2. Here is my patch:

So that's not bug in function drivers. They make correct assumption,
because they expect that requests will be completed in ep_disable().
