We pad frames larger than X to maximum size for devices which don't need a ZLP after maximum sized frames. This allows the device to optimize its transfers for one fixed buffer size. X was arbitrarily set at 512 bytes regardless of real buffer maximum, causing extreme overheads due to excessive padding of larger tx buffers. Limit the padding to at most 3 full USB packets, still allowing the overhead to payload ratio of 3/1.
