This bug can be fixed by the patch I have just sent (if some maintainer will kindly apply it). I repeat the patch here:
From: Marius C Silaghi <msilaghi@xxxxxxx>
This patch is generated against the last kernel version in the github kernel repository.
Some older families of USB2 cameras (STC-XXXXXUSB) do not support querying only the first 8 bytes of their
device descriptor and therefore fail at enumeration on USB3 HCDs, with babble error -75 as they send more than
the expected 8 bytes. The proposed patch extends the mechanism used for non USB3 HCDs in the first part of
the same function, and successively tries to query both the 8 byte prefix of the device descriptor, as well as
the whole device descriptor (in case the old style query of the 8 byte prefix fails).
In fact, for the cameras I try to fix, the preferred condition is the negation of the one in the proposed patch,
"if (!USE_NEW_SCHEME(retry_counter))", to try first the version successful on this case, but I keep the
current order of the "if" branches to ensure clean continuation of support for other supported devices.
