Specification says: NCM/MBIM shall not send ZLP if buffer size is dwNtbOutMaxSize. The problem is: dwNtbOutMaxSize value is negotiated between host and device NCM/MBIM entities and usbnet has no knowledge about it. Adding one byte to make buffer looking like a short packet was most simple approach instead of inventing a way to communicate dwNtbOutMaxSize to usbnet. You could drop short packet approach if dwNtbOutMaxSize is provided to usbnet and decision is made accordingly to NCM/MBIM spec (with exception to faulty devices).
