Yes, to maximize the performance, we set the threshold as maximal as possible. 
Intel Quark X1000 can support 0x80 dwords (512Bytes), but 0x7F dwords (508 
Bytes) should be used since the isochronous/interrupt
transactions can be initiated by Intel Quark X1000 USB host controller. I will 
update the descriptions.

OK, I will remove it.

I will improve the according to your suggestions.
