6- Implement streaming support for BULK endpoints
7 Tatyana's patch "usb: Add streams support to the gadget framework"
8 introduces streaming support for the gadget driver.
9 Every usb_request has new field called stream_id which holds its id.
10 Every usb_ep has a field num_supported_strms which describes the max
11 number of streams supported (for this ep).
12 UAS is AFAIK the only gadget with streaming support.

14- Convert interrupt handler to per-ep-thread-irq
15
16 As it turns out some DWC3-commands ~1ms to complete. Currently we spin
17 until the command completes which is bad.

19 Implementation idea:
20 - dwc core implements a demultiplexing irq chip for interrupts per
21 endpoint. The interrupt numbers are allocated during probe and belong
22 to the device. If MSI provides per-endpoint interrupt this dummy
23 interrupt chip can be replaced with "real" interrupts.
24 - interrupts are requested / allocated on usb_ep_enable() and removed on
25 usb_ep_disable(). Worst case are 32 interrupts, the lower limit is two
26 for ep0/1.
27 - dwc3_send_gadget_ep_cmd() will sleep in wait_for_completion_timeout()
28 until the command completes.
29 - the interrupt handler is split into the following pieces:
30 - primary handler of the device
31 goes through every event and calls generic_handle_irq() for event
32 it. On return from generic_handle_irq() in acknowledges the event
33 counter so interrupt goes away (eventually).
34
35 - threaded handler of the device
36 none
37
38 - primary handler of the EP-interrupt
39 reads the event and tries to process it. Everything that requries
40 sleeping is handed over to the Thread. The event is saved in an
41 per-endpoint data-structure.
42 We probably have to pay attention not to process events once we
43 handed something to thread so we don't process event X prio Y
44 where X > Y.
45
46 - threaded handler of the EP-interrupt
47 handles the remaining EP work which might sleep such as waiting
48 for command completion.

50 Latency:
51 There should be no increase in latency since the interrupt-thread has a
52 high priority and will be run before an average task in user land
53 (except the user changed priorities).
