I can't tell; the bug report doesn't say.  However, ep->desc.bInterval 
is ignored for bulk and control endpoints, so it must be either 
isochronous or interrupt.

No, that's right (mostly -- we really should check for ps->dev->speed 
>= USB_SPEED_SUPER as well as == USB_SPEED_HIGH).

USB uses two different encodings for endpoint intervals.  The second
encoding above just gives the interval in frames; this is used for low-
and full-speed interrupt endpoints.  The first encoding above is
exponential (it gives n where the actual interval is 2^(n-1) frames or
microframes); this is used for all isochronous endpoints and for
high-speed (or SuperSpeed etc.) interrupt endpoints.

See for example the definition of usb_fill_int_urb() in 
include/linux/usb.h.
