Subject: [PATCH] usb: hubs: Decrease IN-endpoint poll interval for Microchip USB491x hub

There is a potential delay in announcing downstream USB bus activity to
Linux USB drivers due to the default interrupt endpoint having a poll
interval of 256ms.

Microchip has recommended ignoring the device descriptor and reducing
that value to 32ms, as it was too late to modify it in silicon.

This patch aims to speed up the USB enumeration process, facilitating
the successful completion of Apple CarPlay certifications and enhancing
user experience when utilizing USB devices through the Microchip Multihost
Hub.

A new quirk, USB_QUIRK_REDUCE_FRAME_INTR_BINTERVAL, accelerates the
notification process by changing the Endpoint interrupt poll interval
from 256ms to 32ms.
