This bug is the combination of dwc2 USB controller and lan78xx USB ethernet controller, which is the combination in use on the Raspberry Pi Model 3 B+.
When the host attempts to receive a packet, but a packet has not arrived, the lan78xx controller responds by setting BIR (Bulk-In Empty Response) to NAK. Unfortunately, this hangs the USB controller and requires the USB controller to be reset.
The fix proposed is to have the lan78xx controller respond by setting BIR to ZLP.

Tested on the RPi 3B+ and certainly improves this situation a number of Fedora users have seen.
What exactly have you tested?
Even with this patch, I am not reliably to reliably boot into grub. It almost seems as if the packet buffer keeps getting overwritten by newer packets so that by the time we process the old ones, the ones we wanted to see are gone.
