Yes, except that the "flag" is a status on the TRB itself (TRB is dwc3's
DMA transfer descriptor).

if they're not implementing this possibility, then that's a bug on
those UDC drivers :)

I can't see how we could ever STALL after returning the data requested
by the host. Seems like that wasn't well thought out.
