I sent a fool-proof patch to the MAINTAINER 6 (nine!) months before and
discussed this on usb-devel. The MAINTAINER has chosen to reject
this patch (for private discussions whith the manufacturer about standards
comliance) and leave users alone ! Although I proposed to him to disable
all QUIRKS and Worksarounds for buggy hardware in his tree and see if the
system still is running he stayed stubborn. As UNUSUAL_DEVS is quite
large he is inconsequent for no apparent reason.

P.S. Please use this patch:
- Don't bloat Config.in with with unnecessary decisions, just fix the bugger
  automatically.
- Be non-intrusive to other devices.
