Greg: A lot of the USB serial drivers call usb_clear_halt in their open methods. Are these calls really needed? There are comments about this in several of the drivers, particularly whiteheat. Most of them boil down to "work around HCD bugs". As far as anyone knows there are no remaining bugs of this sort in the HCDs -- and if there were, it would be better to fix them instead of working around them. Another possibility has to do with firmware changes, but I don't see how a firmware update could require a bunch of clear-halts for bulk endpoints. The cypress_m8 driver also calls usb_clear_halt from within its completion routines, which is definitely wrong.
