This is odd, in that it resolves down to usb_read_mem which does
nothing at all.

And then no one calls this at all either?

How about removing the io ops that are not used at all first, one at a
time, making it obvious what is happening, and then convert the ones
that are used one at a time, and when all is done, then removing the
structure?

That makes it obvious what is happening and much much easier to review
for correctness.
