The call to cdns3_gadget_ep_free_request will free priv_req so do the

Shouldn't the kfree() be moved here instead ? cdns3_gadget_ep_free_request() also accesses priv_req->request .

No, I do not think so. The kfree frees priv_req->request.buf not priv_req->request so must happen before the call to cdns3_gadget_ep_free_request. Nothing should touch priv_req after the call to to cdns3_gadget_ep_free_request. Moving the kfree as you suggest would make the problem worse.
