No, this is actually not good and Janusz has a very valid point
here. When we're debugging something in dwc3, we want to rely on
tracepoints to tell us what's going on. I don't want to have to add more
debugging messages to print out that ESHUTDOWN error just so I can
figure out what's going on. You should be patching this in a way that
the tracepoint is still printed out properly.

Keep in mind that you should be setting ret to -ESHUTDOWN and make sure
the trace is printed. Same patch should, then, patch trace.h to handle
-ESHUTDOWN as an error case, i.e. following hunk should be added:
