This, or we can find out which other patches are intendet to be pulled
into stable, so we can overall improve.

Anyway if you can filter out, which patches are hurting, feel free
to suggest those for revert. I am not very interested in v5.15.

I remember seeing some issues when I switched from sg to memcopy
recently. This happened somehow inbetween working on those sg fixes and
was unexpected and happened without having some obvious code to break
things, since that already worked, when I implemented my first sg
series. But that memcopy issue somehow fell from my table. I will look
into that again for sure. I bet the dwc3 gadget driver got some late
patches that could have broken things here. So it is probably the best
to look into those dwc3 patches and bisect them.

Regards,
Michael
