No, it would make the 'usb start' to terminate immediately,
and results in a port scan failure to at least Faraday EHCI.

Later I'll try to find out where we have 'req->index' set as a '0' in
'usb start'.

I believe it's there long ago, we just fortunately bypass the error at old day,
and now one of Vivek Gautam's USB patch make us face up to this issue.
