Just want to clarify that dwc3 would expect a delayed status for any
request returned with USB_GADGET_DELAYED_STATUS. The issue is that dwc3
assumes the _first_ delayed request would be SET_CONFIGURATION. Any
subsequence control request with delayed request, it assumes the device
is already in configured state.

Agree. Thanks Andrey and Alan for looking into dwc3.

Regarding SET_INTERFACE, it should be fine because it should be done
while it's already in configured state, which is after
SET_CONFIGURATION. But it's true that dwc3 needs to fix this assumption
here.

Added on my TODO list.

The dwc3 tries to handle these state changes. However, as pointed out,
it needs to be audited. We got a little over reliant on USB CV tests to
audit these state changes for us.
