I almost feel like this should be:

if (port->tx_remaining)
  pending = port->tx_remaining

I could imagine active being false but "port->tx_remaining" being
non-zero if we happened to take a long time to handle the interrupt
for some reason.  Presumably you could simulator this and see what
breaks.  I think what would happen would be "pending" will be larger
than you expect and you could write a few extra bytes into the FIFO
causing it to go beyond the length of the transfer you setup.  ...so I
guess you'd drop some bytes?


If it's somehow important for "pending" to be 0 still when we're
active but port->tx_remaining is non-zero, then I guess you could also
write it as:

if (active || port->tx_remaining)
  pending = port->tx_remaining


Maybe I'm misunderstanding though.
