What's the reason?
It can work although the code is a little different with above, I
tested it using USBxHSETT tool at Windows.

This controller may be ran at SMP environment, register and flag access
needs to be protected among CPUs running.

Felipe, I use Dynamic Debug for debugging, and show debug messages with
"dmesg" after testing/debugging. I see dwc3 using trace,  any benefits
for switching
to trace?
