This patch supports the separate handling of the USB transfer buffer length
and the length of the buffer used for multi packet support. The USB transfer
size can now be explicitly configured via the device_info record. Otherwise
it defaults to the configured report packet size as before. For devices
supporting multiple report or diagnostic packets, the USB transfer size is
now reduced to the USB endpoints wMaxPacketSize if not explicitly set.

This fixes an issue where event reporting can be delayed for an arbitrary
time for multi packet devices. For instance the report size for eGalax devices
is defined to the 16 byte maximum diagnostic packet size as opposed to the 5
byte report packet size. In case the driver requests 16 byte from the USB
interrupt endpoint, the USB host controller driver needs to split up the
request into 2 accesses according to the endpoints wMaxPacketSize of 8 byte.
When the first transfer is answered by the eGalax device with not less than
the full 8 byte requested, the host controller has got no way of knowing
whether the touch controller has got additional data queued and will issue
the second transfer. If per example a liftoff event finishes at such a
wMaxPacketSize boundary, the data will not be available to the usbtouch driver
until a further event is triggered and transfered to the host. From user
perspective the BTN_TOUCH release event in this case is stuck until the next
touch down event.

'type' points to a shared data structure and should not be modified. It
looks like we already violating this so a cleanup patch would be
appreciated as well.

BTW, maybe we should do:

	u16 wMaxPaxetSize = le16_to_cpu(endpoint->wMaxPacketSize);
	xmit_size = min(type->rept_size, wMaxPaxetSize);

?

Thanks.
