I like drivers/usb/misc/usblcd.c as one simple example. An older version 
of usb-skeleton was the template. It is using urbs only for writing.

Since no driver seems to cover everything we may need two examples of 
maintained drivers as transfer performance and interrupt endpoints are 
not relevant for usblcd.
