Yes, indeed at first it was something like

if (xfer->hdr.poll_completion && !info->desc->ops->poll_done)
	return -EINVAL;

at the very beginning of do_xfer(), even before attempting to send
anything...and I liked much more but then I thought I would have run such
if-test for each and every command do_xfer() attempted...but maybe it's
just irrelevant and instead much more tidy if done as above.

I'll fix it as above.

Thanks,
Cristian
