I don't know. I think the real thing is that I really need to revisit
that part of the code/databook. The whole "multiple interrupters" seems
like it's only really necessary for host side. Which means that we could
drop all the loops for multiple event buffers and always use a single
one.

Do you wanna test the following ?

diff --git a/drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c b/drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c
index 17fd81447c9f..ebb3ee9c06f1 100644
--- a/drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c
+++ b/drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c

 	int			num;
 	int			i;
 
-	num = DWC3_NUM_INT(dwc->hwparams.hwparams1);
-	dwc->num_event_buffers = num;
+	dwc->num_event_buffers = 1;
 
 	dwc->ev_buffs = devm_kzalloc(dwc->dev, sizeof(*dwc->ev_buffs) * num,
 			GFP_KERNEL);

I'll re-read what these bits actually mean. I have a strong feeling we
could (should?) be ignoring them for the peripheral side.
