It does seem odd that people would buy and use these chips even 
though they are explicitly in violation of the USB specification.  A 
device containing one of these things could never pass the USB-CV 
verification test.

It may be possible for xhci-hcd to work around the bug (by internally 
changing wMaxPacketSize to 512).
