I'm sorry about that. I actually did use scripts/get_maintainer.pl,
but it only returned your email address and I added linux-kernel@...r
myself. I guess I ran it with wrong options.

I'm not sure how realistic this test is, but I ran a Wireshark capture
from Windows 8.1 VM and it seems that for this particular device,
Windows doesn't try to set the current configuration (since there is
only one) and it does not even attempt to get the configuration string
descriptor. I'm not sure if Windows does this in general, but it seems
to work around the problem for this device by not caring about the
configuration string descriptor in the first place.

I have uploaded both captures here -
