Hm... I didn't consider bidirection endpoint other than control endpoint.

DWC3_USB3x_NUM_EPS specifies the number of device mode for single
directional endpoints. A bidirectional endpoint needs 2 single
directional endpoints, 1 IN and 1 OUT. So, if your setup uses 3
bidirection endpoints and only those, DWC3_USB3x_NUM_EPS should be 6.
DWC3_USB3x_NUM_IN_EPS specifies the maximum number of IN endpoint active
at any time.

However, I will have to double check and confirm internally regarding
how to determine many endpoint would be available if bidirection
endpoints come into play.

Thanks for pointing this out. Will get back on this.
