NOTE: there haven't been such quirks in the kernel drivers except for that one
driver that has a user mode interface and needs more moral policing for user
provided buffers. So that example is not something we should be using as reference.
Our buffers are alreay aligned to maxpacket size. The only thing we need to worry
about is the length of the last transaction that is not integral multiple of
maxpacket size.

If my understanding is right all USB controllers should work fine with
bulk OUT requests that are integral multiple of maxpacket size.
So we shouldn't be needing any quirk flags.

I've tried to clean up the bulk out handling code in the below patch.
Note you will need to apply this on top of the 2 patches I sent earlier.

Steve, do let me know if it works for you. If it doesn't then we need to figure out why.
Can you please share details about the USB controller on your board?
Does it not like OUT requests that are aligned to maxpacket size?
What does ep->maxpacket show for your board?
