There are 2 methods for ZLP (zero-length packet) generation:
1) In software
2) Automatic generation by device controller
1) is implemented in UDC driver and it attaches ZLP to IN packet if
descriptor->size < wLength
2) can be enabled/disabled by setting ZLT bit in the QH
When gadget ffs is connected to ubuntu host, the host sends
get descriptor request and wLength in setup packet is 255 while the
size of descriptor which will be sent by gadget in IN packet is
64 byte. So the composite driver sets req->zero = 1.
In UDC driver following code will be executed then
if (hwreq->req.zero && hwreq->req.length
&& (hwreq->req.length % hwep->ep.maxpacket == 0))
add_td_to_list(hwep, hwreq, 0);
Case-A:
So in case of ubuntu host, UDC driver will attach a ZLP to the IN packet.
ubuntu host will request 255 byte in IN request, gadget will send 64 byte
with ZLP and host will come to know that there is no more data.
But hold on, by default ZLT=0 for endpoint 0 so hardware also tries to
automatically generate the ZLP which blocks enumeration for ~6 seconds due
to endpoint 0 STALL, NAKs are sent to host for any requests (OUT/PING)
Case-B:
In case when gadget ffs is connected to Apple device, Apple device sends
setup packet with wLength=64. So descriptor->size = 64 and wLength=64
therefore req->zero = 0 and UDC driver will not attach any ZLP to the
IN packet. Apple device requests 64 bytes, gets 64 bytes and doesn't
further request for IN data. But ZLT=0 by default for endpoint 0 so
hardware tries to automatically generate the ZLP which blocks enumeration
for ~6 seconds due to endpoint 0 STALL, NAKs are sent to host for any
requests (OUT/PING)
According to USB2.0 specs:
8.5.3.2 Variable-length Data Stage
A control pipe may have a variable-length data phase in which the
host requests more data than is contained in the specified data
structure. When all of the data structure is returned to the host,
the function should indicate that the Data stage is ended by
returning a packet that is shorter than the MaxPacketSize for the
pipe. If the data structure is an exact multiple of wMaxPacketSize
for the pipe, the function will return a zero-length packet to indicate
the end of the Data stage.
In Case-A mentioned above:
If we disable software ZLP generation & ZLT=0 for endpoint 0 OR if software
ZLP generation is not disabled but we set ZLT=1 for endpoint 0 then
enumeration doesn't block for 6 seconds.
In Case-B mentioned above:
If we disable software ZLP generation & ZLT=0 for endpoint then enumeration
still blocks due to ZLP automatically generated by hardware and host not needing
it. But if we keep software ZLP generation enabled but we set ZLT=1 for
endpoint 0 then enumeration doesn't block for 6 seconds.
So the proper solution for this issue seems to disable automatic ZLP generation
by hardware (i.e by setting ZLT=1 for endpoint 0) and let software (UDC driver)
handle the ZLP generation based on req->zero field.

README
To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
