Hmmm. Now that I looked into USB 2.0 specification it really says
logarithmic encoding for ISOC endpoints on every speed and not just HS.
And INTR endpoints have logarithmic encoding only for HS. I remembered
it differently…

But based on this, we should really introduce usb_fill_iso_urb() which
handles this correctly. Also the documentation should be updated because
the suggestion for ubs_fill_intr_urb() is misleading (especially if you
have wrong memory about the encoding on FS).
