I am sure I send you every patch was tested on my vendor platform and I saw the problem on my platform. But like my said I missed something that we have masked all interrupts in the dwc3 interrupt handler, so the real reason maybe caused by some out of tree code on my vendor platform which will clean the GEVNTCOUNT register when stop the gadget. Moreover I did not only do this one thing, and some other problem I also need time to test and investigate. So I think I need some time to make things clear, then I can send you one better patch with the correct explanation, am I wrong here? > > You should know better.
