Subject: [PATCH] cdc_ncm: fix short packet issue on some devices

From: Hans Petter Selasky <hselasky@....net>

The default maximum transmit length for NCM USB frames should be so
that a short packet happens at the end if the device supports a length
greater than the defined maximum. This is achieved by adding 4 bytes
to the maximum length so that the existing logic can fit a short
packet there.
