upstream commit: 1662e3a7f076e51e3073faf9ce77157b529c475b

Apparently the Configuration and Interface strings aren't used as
often as the Vendor, Product, and Serial strings.  In at least one
device (a Saitek Cyborg Gold 3D joystick), attempts to read the
Configuration string cause the device to stop responding to Control
requests.

This patch (as1226) adds a quirks flag, telling the kernel not to
read a device's Configuration or Interface strings, together with a
new quirk for the offending joystick.

<title>USB: usb_get_string should check the descriptor type</title>

commit 67f5a4ba9741fcef3f4db3509ad03565d9e33af2 upstream.

This patch (as1218) fixes a problem with a radio-control joystick used
in the "walkera 4#3" helicopter.  This device responds to the initial
Get-String-Descriptor request for string 0 (which is really the list
of supported languages) by sending its config descriptor!  The
usb_get_string() routine needs to check whether it got the right
type of descriptor.

Oddly enough, this sort of check is already present in
usb_get_descriptor().  The patch changes the error code from -EPROTO
to -ENODATA, because -EPROTO shows up in so many other contexts to
indicate a hardware failure rather than a firmware error.

commit ddeac4e75f2527a340f9dc655bde49bb2429b39b upstream.

This patch (as1200) finishes some fixes that were left incomplete by
an earlier patch.

Although nobody has addressed this issue in the past, it turns out
that we need to distinguish between two different modes of disabling
and enabling endpoints.  In one mode only the data structures in
usbcore are affected, and in the other mode the host controller and
device hardware states are affected as well.

The earlier patch added an extra argument to the routines in the
enable_endpoint pathways to reflect this difference.  This patch adds
corresponding arguments to the disable_endpoint pathways.  Without
this change, the endpoint toggle state can get out of sync between
the host and the device.  The exact mechanism depends on the details
of the host controller (whether or not it stores its own copy of the
toggle values).

<title>USB: re-enable interface after driver unbinds</title>

commit 2caf7fcdb8532045680f06b67b9e63f0c9613aaa upstream.

This patch (as1197) fixes an error introduced recently.  Since a
significant number of devices can't handle Set-Interface requests, we
no longer call usb_set_interface() when a driver unbinds from an
interface, provided the interface is already in altsetting 0.  However
the interface still does get disabled, and the call to
usb_set_interface() was the only thing re-enabling it.  Since the
interface doesn't get re-enabled, further attempts to use it fail.

So the patch adds a call to usb_enable_interface() when a driver
unbinds and the interface is in altsetting 0.  For this to work
right, the interface's endpoints have to be re-enabled but their
toggles have to be left alone.  Therefore an additional argument is
added to usb_enable_endpoint() and usb_enable_interface(), a flag
indicating whether or not the endpoint toggles should be reset.

This is a forward-ported version of a patch which fixes Bugzilla
#12301.

<title>USB: don't register endpoints for interfaces that are going away</title>

This patch (as1155) fixes a bug in usbcore.  When interfaces are
deleted, either because the device was disconnected or because of a
configuration change, the extra attribute files and child endpoint
devices may get left behind.  This is because the core removes them
before calling device_del().  But during device_del(), after the
driver is unbound the core will reinstall altsetting 0 and recreate
those extra attributes and children.

The patch prevents this by adding a flag to record when the interface
is in the midst of being unregistered.  When the flag is set, the
attribute files and child devices will not be created.

USB should not be having it's own printk macros, so remove warn() and
use the system-wide standard of dev_warn() wherever possible.  In the
few places that will not work out, use a basic printk().

Okay, I found the cause of the hang.  It is a simple bug in the USB
scatter-gather library, caused by changes added in response to the S-G
chaining modification.

Early exit from the S-G initialization loop does not reset the count of
