"8.5.3 Control Transfers"
"The Data stage, if present, of a control transfer consists of one or more IN 
or OUT transactions and follows the same protocol rules as bulk transfers."
This can also be inferred from the flow charts/state diagrams which state NAKs 
and stalls are not allowed for for "control *setup* transaction" (emphasize 
mine), e.g. Figure 8-31.

"8.5.3.1 Reporting Status Results"
"NAK indicates that the function is still processing the command and that the 
host should continue the Status stage."

I have at least one USB LS mouse which responds with NAKs during control 
transfers, Sigrok LA traces available here:

Good idea, will do.

No, as each NAK will cause a return from chunk_msg. I see e.g. the following 
interrupt flags in combination with CHHLTD (for GET_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR):
- SETUP (SSPLIT) -> ACK
  SETUP (CSPLIT) -> NYET NYET ACK
- DATA IN (SSPLIT) > ACK
  DATA IN (CSPLIT) > NYET NYET NACK
- DATA IN (SSPLIT) > ACK
  DATA IN (CSPLIT) > NYET NYET ACK
- DATA IN (SSPLIT) > ACK
  DATA IN (CSPLIT) > NYET NYET NACK
- DATA IN (SSPLIT) > ACK
  DATA IN (CSPLIT) > NYET NYET ACK
- STATUS (SSPLIT) -> ACK
  STATUS (CSPLIT) -> NYET NYET ACK

On the first DATA-IN ACK, 8 bytes are returned, the second returns the final 
9th byte.

The NAK handling could be moved into the loop in chunk_msg, but this would 
break INTERRUPT transactions.

A different possibility is to move the timeout check into the chunk_msg loop, 
i.e.
---
xfer_timeout = get_timer(0) + USB_TIMEOUT_MS(pipe);
do {
  ...
  ret = wait_for_bit(CHHLTD, timeout=1ms)
  if (ret == -EINTR)
     break;
  if (get_timer(0) > xfer_timeout) {
     printf("Timeout\n");
     ret = -ETIMEDOUT;
     break;
  }
  ...
} while ((done < len) && !stop_transfer);
---

This would also simplify both the INTERRUPT and CONTROL submit functions, and 
BULK submit would finally honour the specified timeout.

Correct, but see above.

Kind regards,

Stefan
