EHCI: fix direction handling for interrupt data toggles
This patch (as1480) fixes a rather obscure bug in ehci-hcd. The qh_update() routine needs to know the number and direction of the endpoint corresponding to its QH argument. The number can be taken directly from the QH data structure, but the direction isn't stored there. The direction is taken instead from the first qTD linked to the QH. However, it turns out that for interrupt transfers, qh_update() gets called before the qTDs are linked to the QH. As a result, qh_update() computes a bogus direction value, which messes up the endpoint toggle handling. Under the right combination of circumstances this causes usb_reset_endpoint() not to work correctly, which causes packets to be dropped and communications to fail. Now, it's silly for the QH structure not to have direct access to all the descriptor information for the corresponding endpoint. Ultimately it may get a pointer to the usb_host_endpoint structure; for now, adding a copy of the direction flag solves the immediate problem. This allows the Spyder2 color-calibration system (a low-speed USB device that sends all its interrupt data packets with the toggle set to 0 and hance requires constant use of usb_reset_endpoint) to work when connected through a high-speed hub. Thanks to Graeme Gill for supplying the hardware that allowed me to track down this bug.
