Why not just enable unconditionally in the driver? > There is no harm in adding this fix always but I think this Retry feature should be added depending on the user and type of the application. For example, applying this feature in a streaming application where isochronous transfers are used might end up in retrying in failed packet until timeout happens, this might reduce the performance. And there may be cases where the user want to know when the transfer error occurred. Enabling this feature always will fail in both the above mentioned cases. Because of this reason added this quirk, so that user can decide when to apply and not.
