Close, but not quite there.  ath6kl_usb_submit_ctrl_in() needs to verify
that the actual amount of data was read that was asked for.  If a short
read happens (or a long one), then an error needs to propagate out, not
just 0.  See the "note:" line in that function for what needs to be
properly checked.
