according to this, there is a set of SuperSpeed descriptors starting on
linux 169:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/adb/usb_linux_client.cpp#169

I don't get what the problem is. You mentioned something about SS vs HS
descriptors at some point, but that shouldn't be a problem seen that ADB
provides SS descriptors.

I see..

If we difer from the spec, we need to remain compliant. I can see adb
sets this to a 1 as the spec requires:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/adb/usb_linux_client.cpp#206

Now I understand the problem, it's not related to SS vs HS, it's just us
using the wrong check for Reserved1. Here's one thing though, the patch
isn't exactly correct. Instead of removing the check completely, we
*must* force the correct check. IOW:

		if (len < sizeof(*d) ||
 		    d->bFirstInterfaceNumber >= ffs->interfaces_count ||
-		    d->Reserved1)
+		    !d->Reserved1)

Heh, now your commit log makes more sense as well, but it could use some
rewording. It appears, from that commit, that the problem is writing
without SS descriptors, which it isn't. The real problem is the wrong
check of the Reserved1 field in MSFT OS Descriptor.

cheers
