usb.c patch -> successfuly read usb descriptors on some USB device

[Dmitri Kassatkine]

Hi,

Sometimes USB subsystem cannot get USB descriptor.

Jan 15 10:44:21 selma kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, 
assign
ed device number 25
Jan 15 10:44:21 selma kernel: usb.c: couldn't get all of config descriptors
Jan 15 10:44:21 selma kernel: usb.c: unable to get device 25 
configuration (e
rror=-110)

Here is patch how to fix it for 2.4.17. It works for 2.4.16 as well.
 It necassary to read descriptor at once, not first 8 byte first.

It works well now for NSM USB Bluetooth dongle.

br, Dmitri
