I shouldn't have replied so quickly to the original post -- it was a
violation of my normal policy to read through all the accumulated inbox
messages before replying to any of them.  :-(

Yeah, the updated version is better.  I don't think we need to test the
full/low-speed case, though.  There already are checks in
usb_submit_urb() to handle unreasonable values of urb->interval.  The
only reason for checking in the high/SuperSpeed case is that the stored
value is computed from the input value, and you don't want the 
computation to overflow.
