Reception of a SET_INTERFACE request with a non-zero alternate setting signals the start of the video stream. The gadget has to enable the video streaming endpoint and to signal stream start to userspace, in order to start receiving video frames to transmit over USB. As userspace can be slow to react, the UVC function driver delays the status phase of the SET_INTERFACE control transfer until userspace is ready. The status phase is delayed by returning USB_GADGET_DELAYED_STATUS from the function's .set_alt() handler. This creates a race condition as the userspace application could process the stream start event before the composite layer processes the USB_GADGET_DELAYED_STATUS return value. The race has been observed in practice, and can't be solved without a change to the USB_GADGET_DELAYED_STATUS API. Fortunately the UVC function driver doesn't strictly require delaying the status phase for non-zero SET_INTERFACE, as the only requirement from a USB point of view is that the streaming endpoint must be enabled before the status phase completes, and that is already guaranteed by the current code. We can thus complete the status phase synchronously, removing the race condition at the same time. Without delaying the status phase the host will likely start issuing isochronous transfers before we queue the first USB requests. The UDC will reply with NAKs which should be handled properly by the host. If this ends up causing issues another option will be to modify the status phase delay API to fix the race condition.
