We need a little more information here. Can you further explain what
happens and how you caught this?

this should *not* be necessary. Neither the INIT_LIST_HEAD() below.

The loop below is actually looking for the request in our lists. You
just made the entire loop below unnecessary, but you didn't change it
accordingly. Moreover, I think that a user dequeueing a request that
wasn't queued for the current endpoint indicates a possible bug in the
gadget driver which needs to be fixed.

If you really disagree, suffice to change "ret = -EINVAL;" to "ret =
0;" and you would get what you want, without any of the extra cruft.

cheers
