Wow, nice to have it so perfectly explained!  :)

The driver seems to be able to figure out the PHY clock in most cases
in dwc2_calc_frame_interval().  It doesn't seem to handle 6MHz there,
though.  I wonder if that's another bug?

Polling seems fine too, though.

I'm pretty much out of time at this point and it sounds like you've
though through all of the corner cases.  If you can take it up that
would be wonderful!  :)  I'm happy to give the patches a test, though!
