Subject: usb: quirks: add control message delay for 1b1c:1b20
From: Danilo Krummrich <danilokrummrich@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit cb88a0588717ba6c756cb5972d75766b273a6817 upstream.
Corsair Strafe RGB keyboard does not respond to usb control messages
sometimes and hence generates timeouts.
Commit de3af5bf259d ("usb: quirks: add delay init quirk for Corsair
Strafe RGB keyboard") tried to fix those timeouts by adding
USB_QUIRK_DELAY_INIT.
Unfortunately, even with this quirk timeouts of usb_control_msg()
can still be seen, but with a lower frequency (approx. 1 out of 15):
[ 29.103520] usb 1-8: string descriptor 0 read error: -110
[ 34.363097] usb 1-8: can't set config #1, error -110
Adding further delays to different locations where usb control
messages are issued just moves the timeouts to other locations,
e.g.:
[ 35.400533] usbhid 1-8:1.0: can't add hid device: -110
[ 35.401014] usbhid: probe of 1-8:1.0 failed with error -110
The only way to reliably avoid those issues is having a pause after
each usb control message. In approx. 200 boot cycles no more timeouts
were seen.
Addionaly, keep USB_QUIRK_DELAY_INIT as it turned out to be necessary
to have the delay in hub_port_connect() after hub_port_init().
The overall boot time seems not to be influenced by these additional
delays, even on fast machines and lightweight distributions.
