Thanks, so that function was only for out-of-bounds array access.
then I think we just can remove that function and use it as a ring.
Can you tell me _why_ it can't be used as a ring?

I think a transaction (e.g. esit_boundary = 7) can start its first SSPLIT
from Y_7 (offset = 7). But will that allocation be matched with this?

-               if ((offset + sch_ep->num_budget_microframes) > esit_boundary)
-                       break;

I mean I'm not sure why this is needed.

Until now, I couldn't find a way to accept the USB audio headset
with a configuration of { INT-IN 64 + ISOC-OUT 384 + ISOC-IN 192 }
without this patch.
