Thank you for the patch!
I think we should remove double spaces like below. (Also "an" unfinished):

-----
If we remove the module which will call renesas_usb3_remove
to make cleanup, there may be an unfinished work. The possible
sequence is as follows:

Adding a blank line here is better, I think.

IIUC, this work is not related to the issue.
But, what do you think?
If so, adding this should be a separate patch with the following Fixes tag:

Fixes: 3b68e7ca3888 ("usb: gadget: udc: renesas_usb3: add extcon support")
