Indeed. I seem to have sent in the wrong sha. Sorry about this.

I missed it but found it now. I will try your suggestion and answer.

Yes me too. I can reproduce that when I build kernel and rootfs with 
buildroot there is no issue. But as soon as I add ftrace / bootconfig 
the issue appears and then I can't analyze the flow. It's seems some 
kind of timing / race.

However, I have tried deferring without dwc3_core_soft_reset() (to 
verify if it is just a matter of time) and that doesn't work. dwc3 is 
deferred about 10x and then gives up without phy. So, it's not just the 
time and not just a matter of retrying the test write.
