Subject: [PATCH 4.4 24/38] USB: usblp: dont call usb_set_interface if theres a single alt

From: Jeremy Figgins <kernel@...emyfiggins.com>

commit d8c6edfa3f4ee0d45d7ce5ef18d1245b78774b9d upstream.

Some devices, such as the Winbond Electronics Corp. Virtual Com Port
(Vendor=0416, ProdId=5011), lockup when usb_set_interface() or
usb_clear_halt() are called. This device has only a single
altsetting, so it should not be necessary to call usb_set_interface().
