Does there really need to be a quirk flag for this? I should think
that you never want to issue a STOP EP command while the controller is
not running, no matter what kind of controller it is.

If it's about controller not running then there shouldn't be any problems.
We shouldn't issue a stop endpoint command if controller is halted.
If this is about issuing a stop endpoint command while endpoint isn't
running, then fully working controllers should just respond with a command
completion with "context state error" status.
Anyway, as Alan said the quirk is probably unnecessary here. We shouldn't need to
stop endpoints that are not running. Only problem I see here is that the
endpoint state in the output endpoint context might not be up to date. If driver
just restarted the endpoint by ringing the doorbell, the output context state
might not be updated yet.
How does this SNPS 3.1 controller react if the endpoint just halted or moved to
error state just before controller runs the stop endpoint command? Still triggers
the RTL bug?
I'm talking about the in xhci spec 4.6.9:
" A Busy endpoint may asynchronously transition from the Running to the Halted or Error state due
to error conditions detected while processing TRBs. A possible race condition may occur if
software, thinking an endpoint is in the Running state, issues a Stop Endpoint Command however
at the same time the xHC asynchronously transitions the endpoint to the Halted or Error state. In
this case, a Context State Error may be generated for the command completion. Software may
verify that this case occurred by inspecting the EP State for Halted or Error when a Stop Endpoint
Command results in a Context State Error."
