Ah... In that case, we got through the incomplete/wrong check for
dwc3_gadget_soft_disconnect():
if (dwc->ep0state != EP0_SETUP_PHASE)

Since there's no gadget driver, the controller never started and the
ep0state is defaulted to EP0_UNCONNECTED, which explained why it got
into the timeout condition above and incorrectly attempt to start the
control transfer.

Thanks for the report and Tested-by! I'll send a fix patch soon.
