If you're seeing errors here, maybe we just need to code review the relevant sections to make sure the 14/16-bit and rollover conditions are all handled correctly.
I think what Felipe may see is some delay in the system that causes the
SW to not handle XferNotReady event in time. We already have the "retry"
method handle that to a certain extend.

The workaround for the isoc_quirk requires 2 tries sending
START_TRANSFER command. This means that you have to account the delay of
that command completion plus potentially 1 more END_TRANSFER completion.
That's why the quirk gives a buffer of at least 4 uframes of the
scheduled isoc frame. So, it cannot schedule immediately on the next
uframe, that's one of the drawbacks.
Hi Felipe,
Since you're asking this, it means you're still seeing issue with your
setup despite retrying to send START_TRANSFER command 5 times. What's
the worse delay responding to XferNotReady you're seeing in your setup?
