Well, the patch is line-wrapped and whitespace is broken, so it doesn't
apply, so of course I don't like the patch :)

But, ZERO_PACKET all depends on your device, and what it expects/wants,
so you don't always enable it in the flags, otherwise we would have done
so in the USB core.  So it doesn't make much sense to add this to the
skeleton driver as that's not always needed by hardware.

Do you have a driver that was based on this skeleton that needed this
flag to be added to work properly?  Has it been updated in the kernel
source tree properly for it?

thanks,
