I'm trying to update the DWC3 driver to allow the status phase of a
transaction to be explicit; meaning the gadget driver has the choice to
either Ack or Stall _after_ the data phase so that the contents of the data
phase can be validated. I thought that I should be able to achieve this by
preventing dwc3_ep0_xfernotready() from calling dwc3_ep0_do_control_status()
(relying on an "explicit_status" flag added to the usb_request to decide
whether or not to do so) and then calling it manually later once the data
phase was validated by the gadget driver (or indeed userspace). A very
barebones version of my attempt to do that looks like this:

We shouldn't do this. At the protocol level, there must be better ways
to do handshake than relying on protocol STALL _after_ the data stage.
Note that not all controllers support this.


Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but isn't this how the USB spec expects it to work? Reading "Reporting Status Results (8.5.3.1)" in the USB 2.0 spec for the status stage in a control write it says "The function responds with either a handshake or a zero-length data packet to indicate its current status", and the handshake can be either STALL or NAK. If we can't do this, how else can we indicate to the host that the data sent during a control out transfer is in some way invalid?
