Thanks for the clarification. If I understand correctly, the issue here
is the missing handling of the timeout of the wait for control transfer
completion. This can happen if we enter flow control and/or if the host
delays polling for data. If it times out, then we'll have problems as
you mention above.
In that case, we can halt the control endpoint causing it to respond
with a STALL to the next host polling of data, cancelling the control
transfer. This is what you did with dwc3_ep0_reset_state() on timeout
right?
I think this should work as the End Transfer commands should complete
before the controller is halted.
Thanks,
Thinh
