Thanks so much for the suggestion!

So I added that, but unfortunately I'm still seeing things crash on boot with:

But I like the direction your thinking with that patch.

I realize on some other dwc3 based hardware I was seeing different
issues with larger transfers that cropped up with 772a7a724f69 ("usb:
gadget: f_fs: Allow scatter-gather buffers"), and my hack workaround
there has been to comment out the assignment of
dwc->gadget.sg_supported to true. A similar hack w/ dwc2 seems to
avoid the issue too, so maybe the dwc2 sg_support patch is tripping
over the same thing in the ffs driver?

thanks
