"Short" means "shorter than expected", not "shorter than the maxpacket 
size".

The correct approach is to align on the larger of the block size and
the maxpacket size (provided one is a multiple of the other, which
isn't always true with wireless USB!).  In theory short transfers
shouldn't occur, but it doesn't matter much if they do, provided they
are a multiple of the block size.
