Subject: [PATCH 3.12 159/206] USB: core: add device-qualifier quirk

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 2a159389bf5d962359349a76827b2f683276a1c7 upstream.

Add new quirk for devices that cannot handle requests for the
device_qualifier descriptor.

A USB-2.0 compliant device must respond to requests for the
device_qualifier descriptor (even if it's with a request error), but at
least one device is known to misbehave after such a request.
