Subject: [PATCH 3.2 168/200] usb: Make DELAY_INIT quirk wait 100ms between
 Get Configuration requests

3.2.56-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Julius Werner <jwerner@...omium.org>

commit d86db25e53fa69e3e97f3b55dd82a70689787c5d upstream.

The DELAY_INIT quirk only reduces the frequency of enumeration failures
with the Logitech HD Pro C920 and C930e webcams, but does not quite
eliminate them. We have found that adding a delay of 100ms between the
first and second Get Configuration request makes the device enumerate
perfectly reliable even after several weeks of extensive testing. The
reasons for that are anyone's guess, but since the DELAY_INIT quirk
already delays enumeration by a whole second, wating for another 10th of
that isn't really a big deal for the one other device that uses it, and
it will resolve the problems with these webcams.
