Finally managed to confirm your suspicions on a kernel with a patched
dev_err call at the location you mentioned:

Mar 12 20:33:51 sur40 kernel: [ 1159.509580]  (null): urb 0 length
mismatch: length 4080, max 512
Mar 12 20:33:51 sur40 kernel: [ 1159.509592] sur40 2-1:1.0: error -22 in
usb_sg_wait

So the SG segments are expected in multiples of 512 bytes. I assume this
is not something I can fix from within my driver?
