I think you nailed the problem. I only want shorter lines.
How about this:

diff --git a/drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c b/drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c
index c9de3f0..e06810a 100644
--- a/drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c
+++ b/drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c
@@ -687,7 +687,10 @@ static ssize_t mon_bin_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf,
 	}
 
 	if (rp->b_read >= sizeof(struct mon_bin_hdr)) {
-		step_len = min(nbytes, (size_t)ep->len_cap);
+		step_len = ep->len_cap;
+		step_len -= rp->b_read - sizeof(struct mon_bin_hdr);
+		if (step_len > nbytes)
+			step_len = nbytes;
 		offset = rp->b_out + PKT_SIZE;
 		offset += rp->b_read - sizeof(struct mon_bin_hdr);
 		if (offset >= rp->b_size)

Also, please send me signed-off-by if you want it.
