Hi,

almost perfect.
A few new issue. Comments inline.

This is border line incorrect. It depends on the compiler not
adding padding. Please make it

buf + sizeof(struct usb_cdc_notification)

Given how kmalloc works you'd better round this up to a power of two.

This is most subtle. Please add a comment that this prevents a double
free if we get a disconnect()
