Do you mean when it's only one and not equal to zero?

BTW, one other thing bothers me. Jeremy confirmed that my patch
worked, which skips the call when USB_QUIRK_NO_SET_INTF is set.
But if we look into drivers/usb/core/message.c, the control
exchange to set the altsetting is skipped in that case anyway.
So, usblp was calling usb_set_protocol, the suspect control was
skipped, but something else caused a problem. Could it be the
attempt to clear halt that triggered the problem?
