I still feel uneasy about adding the call to local_irq_save(), as the need for
this is usually an indicator of another locking problem.
Unfortunately I know next to nothing about the USB gadget subsystem, so some
help from the USB gadget experts would be appreciated.
I had a look at other drivers, and it seems most drivers actually release
and reacquire a spinlock around the call to usb_gadget_giveback_request(),
i.e. they do:
spin_unlock(...);
usb_gadget_giveback_request(...);
spin_lock();
This means they had already acquired the spinlock (and disabled interrupts!)
before, which looks much healthier to me.
There's only one driver that uses local_irq_save() (pxa27x_udc).
