No, you missed the point that USB is a master/slave protocol, with the PC as
the ONE AND ONLY master. Thus the PC actively sends a "read-request" to the
device, which answers (hopefully). So the if the user wants to receive data,
a TD with the IN-flag is assembled. This TD triggers a IN request on USB, if
the device sends data, the TD gets filled and completed. If no data arrives
(either an active NAK or a timeout), the transfer is retried.
So everything is started with the submit_urb, the interrupts only signal the
completion or the failing of the transfer.
