Hi Thinh,

  The last 3 RW traces were as follows:

<idle>-0    [001]   5834.471640:  dwc3_writel   base=0xffffffc0091dc000  
offset=50184  value=4096
<idle>-0    [001]   5834.471799:  dwc3_readl   base=0xffffffc0091dc000  
offset=50188  value=63488
<idle>-0    [001]   5834.471803:  dwc3_writel   base=0xffffffc0091dc000  
offset=50184  value=2147487744

The first one was at the end of previous process_event_entry call where 
we unmasked the interrupt.

The second one was the read of GEVTCOUNT.

The third one was where we wrote 31st bit of the GEVTSIZ register to 
mask interrupt along with 4096 bytes to [15:0] bits.

There is only 100-150us gap between each of these read writes and if you 
are referring to whether the GEVTSIZ got modified in between, I am not 
sure of that.

Krishna,
