Right. I'll just directly refer to the dwc_config() method here.

Ok. Thanks for clarification.

Making it int won't make much sense since currently the method doesn't
imply returning an error status. IMO using "verify" was ok, but since
you don't see it suitable please suggest a better alternative. mend,
fix, align?

Ok.
