Ok, here you now test for a short device descriptor (which USB core
should already have fetched if you get to probe this driver), but which
wasn't verified again here before. You may want to mention that in the
commit message.

And the buffer is small enough that moving it to the stack also for the
other test cases isn't an issue (and the redundant memcpy() introduced
by the helper is in the noise).

So, this looks ok (with an amended commit message dropping the short
write bit):
