Not so.  5.5.3 actually says this:

	The Data stage of a control transfer from an endpoint to the
	host is complete when the endpoint does one of the following:

	 - Has transferred exactly the amount of data specified during 
	the Setup stage

	 - Transfers a packet with a payload size less than
	wMaxPacketSize or transfers a zero-length packet

This clearly indicates that if the amount of data specified in the
Setup stage is a multiple of the wMaxPacketSize then there should not
be a zero-length packet, because the transfer ends as soon as the last 
wMaxPacketSize packet is sent.

Firstly, this patch does not do what your description says it does.

Secondly, the patch is not needed.  g_file_storage doesn't have to 
check whether the data size is a multiple of MaxPacketSize because the 
device controller driver already is supposed to make that check.
