Here you test urb->transfer_buffer.

And here you set it. As a result, on the next iteration of this
routine the test above won't work right. (This function gets invoked
once for each entry in the sg list, right?)

Is there any reason to set urb->transfer_buffer here? You could just
use qh->sg_miter.addr directly in the musb_write_fifo() call two lines
below.
