Sorry for missing you.  :(  I wonder if you should add yourself to the
MAINTAINERS file as a reviewer for dwc2 so you can get CCed always?

I guess it'll depend on what USB devices you have sitting around.  The
more USB devices you have plugged in then the more likely the dumb
scheduler will get things wrong and a device won't like you.  You
should also see significant compatibility improvements when you have
low/full speed devices plugged into high speed USB hubs.

IIRC when testing I did things like:
- In general, try to have lots of things plugged in.
- Plug many different keyboards / mice in.  See if keys are dropped /
mouse is jerky.
- Try USB audio (ideally full speed, not high speed).  How is the audio?
- If you're brave, try a USB webcam.  How is the video?


If you're trying a USB webcam w/ dwc2, maybe add in patches mentioned
in <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=820961>
