Hi,

(you did not add Greg in Cc, he's the USB maintainer. You also didn't Cc
myself as maintainer of the gadget framework)

Looking at that driver code, I believe this is pretty much Synopsys
reference code with a few tweaks. If you want some tip, don't do that.
The reference driver, while functional, has lots of unnecessary layering
which should be avoided.

See how we wrote the DWC3 driver. It's very small code which does the
necessary. It's now functionally complete, from now on we only need to
improve on performance (for example starting transfers on Transfer
Complete event if we already have requests queued). Nevertheless, the
driver is small and has been tested with all transfer types.

If you really want to use this driver as is, that's your call. But I
would suggest to Greg that he only takes this in if there is someone
dedicated to maintain it. It's a really big codebase and whenever I
change something on the gadget framework I will have to patch this
beast too.

If there's no maintainer assigned to it, who's willing to put effort in
improving this driver in the long run, I think this will become yet
another burden on the community. Still, it's your call.
