Certainly I wasn't sure, but I also think this is kind of obscure  
code. If that is the case that we also want to initialize mult to 0,  
wouldn't it be clearer (for maintenance purposes) to add mult = 0 and  
the break statement after ios = 1?

What do you think if I modify that piece of code as follows:

case USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_CONTROL:
  	ios = 1;
         mult = 0;
	break;


Thank you
