I've looked through several revisions of the databook for both dwc3 and
dwc3.1. From what I can tell EOPF was nixed starting in DWC3 (not 3.1)
revision 2.20a. DWC3 revision 2.30a re-introduced event #6 for USB
suspend. And judging from the IP revision list in core.h, DWC3 is now
up to 3.30a (DWC3_REVISION_330A), so from number alone there are about
as many revisions that have this bit as EOPF as there are that use it
for SUSPEND. This carries over to DWC3.1 as well (not sure about DWC3.2)
so in fact there are probably more revisions of IP that no longer use
EOPF.

Hi Thinh, I'm wondering if you could please help corroborate the history
of this bit, and confirm whether it is also used as Suspend entry in DWC
3.2 IPs?

But I don't want to make it seem that I'm using revision history as a
gauge of how many real devices out there support EOPF vs Suspend. That
figure we'll never truly know.

I'm saying since this macro has never really been used to enable any
kind of event handling specifically for "End Of Periodic Frame", that
there is not much utility in keeping the name as EOPF. Instead as I
explained in patch 1, the same bit/event is used on newer revisions for
USB Suspend entry so assuming you accept that, then the purpose of this
follow-on patch is simply to make the code more readable by renaming the
macro to fit its usage.

Thanks,
Jack
