Unfortunately no.

Nope. Just the transfers stall/hang and further attempts at adb
connections fail until the USB cable is unplugged and replugged.

Yea, I'm able to test against mainline. I can give this a whirl, but
since it affects multiple drivers, I suspect the trouble is in the
f_fs code, not just dwc2.

The transfer hangs happen on *both* dwc2 and dwc3. And on both we can
use a similar workaround of disabling sg_supported to get by.

Maybe? I have heard of folks doing it in the past, though I don't
really know a quick path to get there.

Is there anything else I can try for you?
