Do you mean UDC driver align the buffer? I searched the code, currently
only DWC3 needs buffer size to be aligned to MaxPacketSize on ep out.
And the align is done in f_fs driver.

I'd prefer fail the request at all, and it is better done in HW. Because per the
USB Spec that device can return NAK if a function was unable to accept data
From the host. the DWC3 has not been design as this, if software fail the
transfer, it is a little weird for host.

So, now we have 3 choices:
1) buffer the excess data
2) fail the transfer
3) drop the excess data, then print an warning message

Which one do you prefer?
