why is the timer only for stream endpoints? What if we want to run this
on non-stream capable eps?

you don't ned an extra operation here, ep_dequeue should be enough.

the timer should be per-request, not per-endpoint. Otherwise in case of
multiple requests being queued, you can't give them different timeouts

timeout value should be passed by the gadget driver. Add a new
usb_ep_queue_timeout() that takes the new argument. Rename the current
usb_ep_queue() to static int __usb_ep_queue() with an extra argument for
timeout and introduce usb_ep_queue() without the argument, calling
__usb_ep_queue() passing timeout as 0.

why?
