Hi Neil,

Thanks for your work on this.

First off, please always submit patches, even RFCs, with the proper
kernel coding style. scripts/checkpatch.pl will help you there. That
way other developers are more likely to take your patches seriously.

Second, you should base your work on top of Robert Baldyga's patch
series "usb: dwc2/gadget: fix series". That should be going into the
kernel when the merge window opens up next week. That series also
touches the FIFO configuration code. You can find it at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=140568383216978.

Third, it looks like we may need some way to customize the FIFO
configuration depending on the platform. I don't think it's possible
to configure the FIFOs properly for all platforms otherwise. Maybe
you and Robert could work together on that?

Fourth, you should split out the fixes (like the off-by-one in the
endpoint loops) into separate patches. Those could be applied right
away.

Other than that, this looks OK to me. I especially like that you are
providing a way to enable DMA support, since I will need that myself in
the near future ;)
