I don't think it's that simple. The documentation for
usb_ep_free_request() says:
* Caller guarantees the request is not queued, and that it will
* no longer be requeued (or otherwise used).
so some extra synchronisation is required here.
By the time we get to functionfs_unbind() everything should be disabled
by ffs_func_disable() and ffs_func_unbind() has drained the workqueue,
but none of that applies to ep0.
I think ffs_unbind() needs to dequeue the ep0 request.
In addition to that, I think we need a new ep0 status variable in struct
ffs_data so that req is not accessed after wait_for_completion() in
__ffs_ep0_queue_wait() and that status is set in ffs_ep0_complete().
With the spin_unlock_irq() moved to immediately before
wait_for_completion() in __ffs_ep0_queue_wait() it looks like everything
is then safe.
