Hey all,
  I wanted to send these out for comment and thoughts.

Since ~4.20, when the functionfs gadget enabled scatter-gather
support, we have seen problems with adb connections stalling and
stopping to function on hardware with dwc3 usb controllers.
Specifically, HiKey960, Dragonboard 845c, and Pixel3 devices.

Initally the workaround we used was to simply disable scatter
gather support on the dwc3 by commenting out the
"dwc->gadget.sg_supported = true;" line.

After working with Fei Yang, who was seeing similar trouble on
Intel dwc3 based hardare, Thinh Nguyen mentioned that a fix had
already been found and pointed me to one of Anurag's patches.

This solved the issue on HiKey960 and I sent it out to the list
but didn't get any feedback.

Additional testing with the Dragonboard 845c found that that
first fix was not sufficient, and so I've sat on the fix
thinking something deeper was amiss and went back to the hack
of disabling sg_supported on all dwc3 platforms. 

In the following months Fei's continued and repeated efforts
didn't seem to get enough review to result in a fix, and they've
since moved on to other work.

Recently, I found that folks at qcom have seen similer issues
and pointed me to the second patch in this series, which does
seem to resolve the issue on the Dragonboard 845c, but not the
HiKey960 on its own.

So I wanted to send these patches out for comment. There's
clearly a number of folks seeing broken behavior for ahwile on
dwc3 hardware, and we're all seeemingly working around it in our
own ways, so either those individual fixes need to get upstream
or we need to figure out some deeper solution to the issue.

So I wanted to send these two out for review and feedback.

thanks
-john
