That expectation is wrong; gadget drivers can also want to delay the 
Status stage for a SET_INTERFACE request.  And in theory they might want 
to delay any control-OUT transfer.

This is also wrong.  SET_CONFIGURATION can tell a gadget to install 
config 0, in which case the state should be changed to 
USB_STATE_ADDRESS.

For that matter, a gadget can undergo many state changes other than the 
change into the CONFIGURED state.  It doesn't look like many of the UDC 
drivers are careful about reporting them.

The proper time isn't really well defined.  As far as the gadget driver 
is concerned, it's when the configuration change is completed (when it 
tells the composite framework to stop delaying the status stage).  But 
as far as the host is concerned, it's when the Status stage completes 
successfully.

If the Status stage of the control transfer gets corrupted, it's 
possible to end up in a situation where the gadget believes it is 
configured and the host believes it isn't.  Luckily this doesn't 
happen very often, and if it does then the host should reissue the 
transfer.

All the other state changes are (or should be) handled by the UDC 
drivers.  I guess they can handle the changes to/from the CONFIGURED 
state as well, although they will have to be more careful about it than 
they are now.

Yes, that appears to be so.  I didn't realize those were the only 
hold-outs.

One step at a time...
