No, it's possible to have both.  This is less likely with isochronous 
than with the other transfer types, but it can happen.  For example, 
consider a high-bandwidth high-speed transfer where 3072 bytes are 
received in three packets during a single microframe.  You might 
receive two of the three packets, giving actual_length = 2048, and then 
not receive the third, giving status = -EPROTO.
