Provide usb_fill_iso_urb() for the initialisation of isochronous URBs.
We already have one of this helpers for control, bulk and interruptible
URB types. This helps to keep the initialisation of the URB members in
one place.
Update the documentation by adding this to the available init functions
and remove the suggestion to use the `_int_' helper which might provide
wrong encoding for the `interval' member.

This looks like it would cover most users nicely. The sound subsystem
initialises the ->iso_frame_desc[].offset + length member (often) at a
different location and I'm not sure ->interval will work always as
expected. So we might need to overwrite those two in worst case.

Some users also initialise ->iso_frame_desc[].actual_length but I don't
this is required since it is the return value.

Do you have a few example patches of using this new function?  Many many
years ago we tried to create this function, but we gave up as it just
didn't seem to work for the majority of the users of ISO packets.  Maybe
things have changed since then and people do it all more in a "standard"
way and we can take advantage of this.  But it would be nice to see
proof it can be used before taking this patch.

thanks,

sure. Let me refresh my old usb_fill_int_urb() series with this instead.

Hi Sebastian,

Thank you for the patch.

I think this should be moved to a .c file as the function is growing big, but 
that's true of the other URB helpers as well, so it can be done later in a 
separate patch.

Full-speed devices express polling intervals in frames (1 per ms); 
high-speed and SuperSpeed devices express polling intervals in 
microframes (8 per ms).

This initialization of the iso_frame_desc[] elements assumes that all
the packets are the same size.  The kerneldoc should mention that this
is just an assumption; if it is wrong then the driver code will need to
rewrite the elements after calling this function.

One possibility is to allow the caller to set packets to 0; in that 
case you could avoid setting either urb->number_of_packets or the 
iso_frame_desc[] elements.
