I tested this driver on 2 environment, but it could not work correctly.
- renesas_usbhs driver with shdma driver on the mackerel board
- renesas_usbhs driver with experimental SUDMAC driver

In this case, should we modify the renesas_usbhs driver?
For reference, if I changed the threaded IRQ to tasklet,
the 2 environment worked correctly:
