No, we do not provide any error notification besides logging an error
when an endpoint has been stalled (i.e. in case of a read, you would not
receive any more data before the halt condition has been cleared).

Given that there's been no reports about this being an issue (for the
past ten years and that I can recall), this crude handling appears to
suffice.
