In such case it would make sense to drop the check for
usb_endpoint_xfer_int(&ep->desc)
and rely on existing (xfer_int || xfer_isoc) in the outer 'if'.

There is also a third case of a FS device behind an external HS hub.
The device will look like FS to this code here, but the xHC will need
to schedule HS transactions to service it.
