We are using DWC3 usb device controller and tried to look into the
dwc3 driver code to check a place where we can identify
first IN token from HOST side.

I tried modify 'dwc3_endpoint_interrupt' function in file
'drivers/usb/dwc3/gadget.c' in case 'case DWC3_DEPEVT_XFERNOTREADY:'
to start streaming for the first time when this case hit.

I am not sure if this is the right place for this,
I will dig more into the DWC3 spec and code.
