This code contains a bug: It assumes that usb_ep_dequeue() waits until 
the request has been completed.  You should insert

	wait_for_completion(&done);

right here.

This is the natural result of not waiting for the request to complete.

Certainly.  usb_ep_dequeue() just speeds up the process of completing
the request; it doesn't wait for that process to finish.
