Pre-Condition
URB with Scatter Gather list is queued to bulk OUT endpoint.
Every buffer in scatter gather list is not a multiple of maximum packet size for that endpoint(short packet).
CHAIN bit is set for all TRBs in a TD so that the DMA happens to all of them at once.

Issue
DMA operation copies all the CHAINED TRBs at contiguous device memory.
But since the original packet was a short packet, so the actual data is re-aligned after this DMA operation.
At device end this re-aligned data causes data integrity issue with applications like ICMP ping.

Solution
Don't set the CHAINED bit for these TRBs, if their buffers are not a multiple of maximum packet size.
This will reduce the benefit in throughput as required from a scatter gather implementation, but this reduces the CPU utilization.
And solves the data integrity issue on Device End
