I am afraid you cannot let stand the order of allocations here anyway,
as xpad->irq_in is currently submitted before xpad->bulk_out is allocated.
That however is a race, because the callback for irq_in can call
xpad360w_process_packet(), which will in turn submit the bulk URB.

I am afraid your patch is pointless unless the logic is also fixed.

Oliver
