Subject[Discussion] USB: musb-gadget: how to fix ZLP issue in musb_g_tx
From
Hi All,

In another thread, Sergei pointed out there is a ZLP issue in musb_g_tx:

balbi also confirmed that is is really a problem.

I also have two related questions below for the problem:

1), why is the check for "is_dma" needed here?

if (is_dma || request->actual == request->length) {
....
}

2), why is a zlp needed in the case below?

#ifdef CONFIG_USB_INVENTRA_DMA
|| (is_dma && (!dma->desired_mode ||
(request->actual & (musb_ep->packet_sz - 1))))
#endif

Seems no request->zero is set to ask for zlp explicitly in
the case above.

IMO, it is not difficult to give a good fix for the ZLP problem
if the two questions are clear.
