I don't really understand that last sentence.  Perhaps what you mean is
that depending on the direction of the control transfer, the driver
should either ACK the host's 0-length data packet (control-IN) or send
a 0-length DATA1 packet (control-OUT)?

Oops!  I should have spotted this in the previous version, sorry. The
implicit status-stage request should have its ->explicit_status set, so
that we don't try to submit another status request when this one
completes.

Also, would it look better if the type of explicit_status was bool 
instead of unsigned int (both here and in the structure)?

Either way, once this change is made:
