Thanks for reviewing the code.
Yes, you optimized the interrupt triggering frequency.

Yes,enabling XHCI_AVOID_BEI quirk is to solve the problem of event ring fullness

For Synopsys DWC31 2.00a IP and earlier versions, the corresponding
driver is in drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c.
If XHCI_AVOID_BEI quirk is not enabled, in other words, an interrupt
is triggered every 32nd isoc trb, then
the event ring may be full. After the event ring is full, the
controller cannot trigger an interrupt, causing the driver
to timeout.
My initial solution:

I consider that enabling XHCI_AVOID_BEI quirk will increase the number
of isoc transmission
interrupts, and some specific applications of products may not have
full event rings.
For Synopsys DWC31 2.00a IP and earlier versions, XHCI_AVOID_BEI quirk
is forced to be enabled,
which is not the best solution. Therefore, the second solution is
generated, which is to remove the
modification of drivers/usb/dwc3/host.c file, only keep
drivers/usb/host/xhci-plat.c, enable XHCI_AVOID_BEI
quirk by adding dts configuration. Let users decide whether to enable
XHCI_AVOID_BEI quirk based on
the specific application of the product.
