No, it's not quite the same as nullifying the resizing algorithm.  This
patch is predicated on a key part of the resizing algorithm where
dwc3_gadget_clear_tx_fifos() occurs upon receiving Set_Configuration in
ep0.c.  Which means that each new connection starts off with a blank
slate with all the GTXFIFOSIZ(n) registers cleared.  Then each EP gets
resized one at a time when usb_ep_enable() is called.

The problem this patch is fixing is avoiding *re-resizing*, the idea
being that if an EP was already resized once during a session (from
Set Configuration until the next reset or disconnect), then 
it should be good to go even if it gets disabled and re-enabled again.
Since we lack any boolean state variable in struct dwc3_ep reflecting
whether it had already been resized, re-reading the GTXFIFOSIZ register
is the next best equivalent.  Note also that this check occurs after
the if (!dwc->do_fifo_resize) check so this is applicable only if the
entire "tx-fifo-resize" mechanism is enabled.
