I don't know much about ISO, but the above was mildly interesting.
But I gave up reading pretty quickly. Took me 30 seconds to reach
this part:

Dude, you do realize that anything above 8K has NO chance to work?
The kmalloc will always fail (unchecked).

This is hideous, too:

        case -EOVERFLOW: {
                // This error occurs when a read request reads less bytes than 
the buffer 
contains.
                // We use this option to determine the protocol packetlength 
(byte 3) and 
read the whole packet.
                if(dev->bulk_recv_buffer[0] == 0xAA && dev->bulk_recv_buffer[1] 
== 0xAA)
                        read_size = dev->bulk_recv_buffer[2] * 2 + 6;
                else
                        read_size = 3;
                break;
        }

Hardware designers strike! The length is 518 bytes at most (+3 bytes
header). Would it be too hard to read that much always, and therminate
the URB with short read?

I think it's duff hardware. But the driver not being too pretty is not
helping things either.
