Nice catch :-) completely missed that.

yeah, sounds like a plan to me. Several UDC drivers are already carrying
their own flags for such things. We might as well fix it up
generically. In any case, we still need a dwc3-specific patch for the
-rc cycle. Then for v4.14 merge window we introduce a generic flag. How
about that?

Are you going to be working on this, btw?
