When the request actual state is equal to lenght, besides setting the
request status to done, the status variable also need to be updated.
If not, the status will be EINPROGRESS and the transfer will never be
set as completed.

Yes, in this case the patch breaks the flow and remove the URB status
of -EINPROGRESS to soon. But what about, and taken your example above,
the gadget queues only one 512-byte request? is_short is false, and
urb->transfer_buffer_length != urb->actual_length and so the URB
status is never changed.

Understood.

Make sense.
Thank for the info.
