Have you tried other SoCs with Invetra MUSB?

I think the only reason why everything worked before with HCD_BH is
that execution of urb->callback() was placed after musb_start(). The
order of operations matters.
However, you said that something was also wrong with HCD_BH and other
peripherals.

I feel from playing with OpenVizsla that REQPKT should be set well in
advance. So, time window to set the flag is actually smaller than 1
ms.
urb->callback() is never takes longer than 0.4 ms for pwc driver, but
INs are skipped.
At the same time musb_host doesn't utilize AutoReq here. I think many
other USB host controllers (OHCI?) just rely on hardware to send IN
packets in time.
