Indeed, which is why this dirty hack is done in the driver. And it was done to fix a similar issue - high CPU usage when scanning. But do you have any suggestion for such broken devices ? The FW changes the type from Interrupt to Bulk, but can the host driver continue to use Interrupt URBs and use the URB_NO_INTERRUPT trick that you have mentioned ?
