[PATCH 1/2] usb: dwc2: handle NAK when CHHLTD does not fire

[anis chali]

Hi.

On Raspberry pi cm 4, with only the patch usb: dwc2: handle NAK when
CHHLTD does not fire,
the usb controller does not work and displays indefinitely the message
below even if no usb storage plugged in
ERROR: dwc2 fe980000.usb at 7e980000.of: Timeout on bulk endpoint
I did the test with the patch series and I get the same behaviour,
console continuously displaying the timeout error.

Thank's.
Anis C.
