For Some USB mass storage devices, such as:
"
 - Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 001D7D06CF09B04199C7B3EA
 - Class: (from Interface) Mass Storage
 - PacketSize: 64  Configurations: 1
 - Vendor: 0x0930  Product 0x6545 Version 1.16
"
When `usb read 0x80000000 0 0x2000`, we met
"EHCI timed out on TD - token=0x80008d80".

The devices does not support scsi VPD page, we are not able
to get the maximum transfer length for READ(10)/WRITE(10).

So we limit this to 256 blocks as READ(6).

This comes from NXP's downstream and has proven to tremendously improve
the situation with those odd USB mass storage aka memory sticks. This is
why I post it here asking whether or not this may be something
benefiting more people. Any feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Changes in v2:
- Fixed spelling in comment as suggested by Igor.
