I'm in favor of the explicit_status approach from [2].  In fact, there 
was a whole series of patches impementing this, and I don't think any of 
them were merged.

Keep in mind that there are two separate issues here:

	Status/data stage for a control-IN or 0-length control-OUT
	transfer.

	Status stage for a non-0-length control-OUT transfer.

The USB_GADGET_DELAYED_STATUS mechanism was meant to help with the 
first, not the second.  explicit_status was meant to help with the 
second; it may be able to help with both.
