USB: Fix up URB error codes to reflect implementation.
Documentation/usb/error-codes.txt mentions that urb->status can be set to -EXDEV, if the isochronous transfer was not fully completed. However, in practice, EHCI, UHCI, and OHCI all only set -EXDEV in the individual frame status, never in the URB status. Those host controller actually always pass in a zero status to usb_hcd_giveback_urb, and rely on the core to set the appropriate status value. The xHCI driver ran into issues with the uvcvideo driver when it tried to set -EXDEV in urb->status, because the driver refused to submit URBs, and the userspace camera application's video froze. Clean up the documentation to reflect the actual implementation. Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
