So you can receive an interrupt for the last data without it having also
signalled the INPUT_DONE.  That means you'd have one more IRQ come in and if you
don't wait for that, you could start up the next transaction and have an irq
come in that screws up that transaction.

It might be sufficient to just wait for the INPUT_DONE_FLAG.  That cannot be
signalled unless the rx_bytes == xfer->len.
