Because using an USB low speed device with an EHCI controller should
normally fail (that is, the first descriptor read returns 0 bytes), or
at least it does on the sunxi platforms. I thought there was no need to
report that as an error, but I changed my mind.

Since the end result is that the USB device won't work, I think it makes
sense to print an error.

At this point, v2 of this patch was sent as: usb: Early failure when the
first descriptor read fails or is invalid

Let me know if you need some more context on this.
