I just remembered, the HID spec requires that all reports (except the
longest) end with a short packet.  And since output reports are allowed
to be sent over an Interrupt-OUT endpoint, we have to accept the
URB_ZERO_PACKET flag for interrupt URBs.

How about this change instead?

 			URB_FREE_BUFFER);
 	switch (xfertype) {
 	case USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_BULK:
+	case USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_INT:
 		if (is_out)
 			allowed |= URB_ZERO_PACKET;
 		/* FALLTHROUGH */
