Dequeuing request is coming from the function driver, but what causes
the dequeue. For example, the End Transfer command due to a disconnect
may give a different clues than a dequeue from a change of interface.

It's "Synopsys" :)

What controller version are you using? And what version is Jung using?
Do you have the STAR number of the issue. If you're using a different
version than Jung's, then it may not be the same issue.

Your patch set is still on my todo list. I haven't reviewed it. There's
some concern looking at it from a first glance, I'll check it out more
thoroughly later.

Can you provide the tracepoints?
