there's no need for that. This patch is in good format. I do have a
question, however: how do you know this will work for all users? Burst
size is a function of how wide the interconnect where dwc3 is attached
to, is.

You could very well be degrading performance for some users here. Can
you send me the result of the following commands *without* this patch
applied?

# mkdir -p /d
# mount -t debugfs none /d
# cat /d/*dwc3*/regdump
