This patch (as1257) revises the way ehci-hcd detects STALLs. The
logic is a little peculiar because there's no hardware status bit
specifically meant to indicate a STALL. You just have to guess that a
STALL was received if the BABBLE bit (which is fatal) isn't set and
the transfer stopped before all its retries were used up.
The existing code doesn't do this properly, because it tests for MMF
(Missed MicroFrame) and DBE (Data Buffer Error) before testing the
retry counter. Thus, if a transaction gets either MMF or DBE the
corresponding flag is set and the transaction is retried. If the
second attempt receives a STALL then -EPIPE is the correct return
value. But the existing code would see the MMF or DBE flag instead
and return -EPROTO, -ENOSR, or -ECOMM.
