Ok. I think I see what you're referring to when you say "event is
processing in the middle" now.
What you want to check is probably this in dwc3_event_buffers_setup().
Please confirm:
if (dwc->pending_events)
dwc3_writel(dwc->regs, DWC3_GEVNTSIZ(0),
DWC3_GEVNTSIZ_INTMASK | DWC3_GEVNTSIZ_SIZE(evt->length));
else
dwc3_writel(dwc->regs, DWC3_GEVNTSIZ(0), DWC3_GEVNTSIZ_SIZE(evt->length));

This can be mitigated by adjusting the imod_interval (interrupt
moderation). Have you tried that?
