Yes, my comment maybe criticizes more the basic architectural structure 
of usb putting it's own work up to higher layer. The only practical 
thing is that, if there is a non-HID device suffering from that 
FULLSPEED problem, the quirk won't help it. Anyway in current kernel 
structure usb layer doesn't handle endpoint setup at all, thus it simply 
can not do the job.
