Ok.

Just wonder, what condition does the buffer access become invalid?
While it makes sense that we should not cleanup the buffer while the
controller is in run state, I don't think SMMU fault will always occur
when (!(reg & DWC3_DSTS_DEVCTRLHLT)) right?

Can you separate the checks so we don't have to read register for all
conditions?

if (!dwc->ev_buf)
	return;

/*
 * If dwc3_core_exit() fails, event buffer is not
 * accessible for <XYZ> platforms.
 */
reg = dwc3_readl(dwc->regs, DWC3_DSTS);
if (!(reg & DWC3_DSTS_DEVCTRLHLT))
	return;
