In f_hidg_write() the write_spinlock is acquired before calling
usb_ep_queue() which causes a deadlock when dummy_hcd is being used.
This is because dummy_queue() callbacks into f_hidg_req_complete() which
tries to acquire the same spinlock. This is (part of) the backtrace when
the deadlock occurs:

  0xffffffffc06b1410 in f_hidg_req_complete
  0xffffffffc06a590a in usb_gadget_giveback_request
  0xffffffffc06cfff2 in dummy_queue
  0xffffffffc06a4b96 in usb_ep_queue
  0xffffffffc06b1eb6 in f_hidg_write
  0xffffffff8127730b in __vfs_write
  0xffffffff812774d1 in vfs_write
  0xffffffff81277725 in SYSC_write

Fix this by releasing the write_spinlock before calling usb_ep_queue()

Did you have a chance to look at this patch?  Please let me know if you
need concrete steps for reproducing the deadlock.

Thanks,
Rado

This fixes a usb_f_hid deadlock I've also been seeing with a FIDO key
emulator.  This is a serious bug in that it brings down my entire
system if I use the hid gadget in any way, so can we please get it
applied?  It turns out to have been introduced by this commit:
