It's a known issue.  The xHCI 1.0 spec changed how hardware handles
short packets.  The HW will notify SW of the TRB where the short packet,
and it will also give a successful status for the last TRB in a TD (the
one with the IOC flag set).  On the second successful status, that
warning will be triggered in the driver.

Software is now supposed to not assume the TD as done until it gets that
last successful status.  That means we have a slight race condition,
although it should have little practical impact.  This patch papers over
that issue.

I will take this patch, but will add the note that is on my long-term
to-do list to fix this issue.
