A completion event with nothing queued looks like something horrid.
I'd do some further analysis to find which TRB have been queued and
the completion (or other) events that removed them.

IIRC the COMP_SHORT_TX completion usually means that the received USB packet
is shorter than the buffer (it is really a short RX!).
This is completely normal for many devices.
There is a slight fubar with some host controllers that fail to report
it exactly as per the standard - but that gives a different message.
