No, that's precisely my point. You cannot force this behaviour onto
every user of control requests.

Different devices need different handling, that's why this must be per
driver or possibly implemented as a device quirk as Jiri suggested.

But we need a better description of the problem first. Is this an issue
also during enumeration, or only after when you use your mouse?

And exactly which control requests are failing here? Your example above
doesn't seem to involve any such requests (only interrupt URB
completions).

What do you base that on?
