Oh oops, yeah, you're right.

I thought that usb_gadget_control_complete needs to check the status of
the request that was given back. Doesn't that mean that
usb_gadget_giveback_request must be called first?

I was thinking that maybe we could save explicit_status before calling
usb_gadget_giveback_request, and if request is still valid then we can
pull status from it otherwise use 0, but then would that be considered
adding complexity to UDCs that want to implement optional status stage
delay? Or add a wrapper function?

On the other hand, if we do put usb_gadget_control_complete before
usb_gadget_giveback_request, then the control transfer would complete
before the function driver has a chance to complete, but if the function
driver wanted to intervene/determine the status stage then it would have
gone through the new mechanism that we're making here. So it could be
fine to switch the order. My tests for it work too, so I guess we'll go
with usb_gadget_control_complete before usb_gadget_giveback_request
then. In that case usb_gadget_control_complete doesn't need to check the
status of the request, since there isn't any, right?
