I can't understand what makes the difference. What I found to this
moment is the following:

1) isoc transfer works in two empirical modes or regimes. I called
them 'normal' one and 'broken'.
1a) In the 'normal' mode, every package is 956 bytes long and
c->desc->pd2 (see cppi41_irq) is 1400009a
1b) In the 'broken' mode, every package is 0 bytes long and
c->desc->pd2 (see cppi41_irq) is 1408009a
2) In each mode cppi41_irq is invoked every 1 ms.
2a) When the time lag between two subsequent calls of cppi41_irq is
greater (up to 2 ms) or less (0.3 ms) than 1 ms then the mode is
switched. It can happen inside single URB without calling complete().
So, the data are flowing in large bulks of either empty or full packages.
3) When HCD_BH is not set, then this two regimes are being flipped
constantly breaking internal pwc logic. When HCD_BH is set, then first
dozens packages are empty, then there is a pause between cppi41_irq
and the rest packages are fine.
