Ok. Things seem to work. I went back to suspend on bus reset, and with
some other fixes I did to my enable/reset logic and the mass storage
fix I posted yesterday it seems to be solid. Yay !

Sure but it would be nice if the mass storage dealt with -ESHUTDOWN
properly and stopped :-) Or other errors... if the UDC HW for example
dies for some reason, mass storage will lockup.

Not afaik. But I might have missed something. I didn't see any suspend
callback in f_mass_storage.c...
