Ah, you mean this bit?

 * @status: This is read in non-iso completion functions to get the
 *      status of the particular request.  ISO requests only use it
 *      to tell whether the URB was unlinked; detailed status for
 *      each frame is in the fields of the iso_frame-desc.

Sure.  It feels like there should be a note about which values
isochronous URBs might have in the urb->status field.  The USB core is
the only one that would be setting those, so which values would it set?
uvcvideo tests for these error codes:

        case -ENOENT:           /* usb_kill_urb() called. */
        case -ECONNRESET:       /* usb_unlink_urb() called. */
        case -ESHUTDOWN:        /* The endpoint is being disabled. */
        case -EPROTO:           /* Device is disconnected (reported by some
                                 * host controller). */

Are there any others.
