This series provides a workaround for certain devices with bogus
wBytesPerInterval field in interrupt endpoint descriptors and enables
them to work on the latest pedantic xHCI controllers.
It also fixes USB3 root hub descriptors and improves error logging.
new in v3:
all: add cover letter
rebase on 7.1 to fix context conflicts
1/1: reduce wMaxPacketSize instead of raising wBytesPerInterval,
as pointed out by Mathias Nyman
new in v2:
2/3: added reporter's tested-by
use usb_endpoint_is_int_in() as suggested by Alan
3/3: new patch
Michal Pecio (3):
usb: core: Fix SuperSpeed root hub wMaxPacketSize
usb: core: Fix up Interrupt IN endpoints with bogus wBytesPerInterval
usb: core: Clean up SuperSpeed/eUSB2 descriptor validation logging

There is no good reason to have wBytesPerInterval < wMaxPacketSize -
either one is too low or the other too high, and we may want to warn
about such descriptors. Start with cleaning up our own root hubs.
USB 3.2 section 10.15.1 sets wMaxPacketSize and wBytesPerInterval of
SuperSpeed hub status endpoints at 2 bytes, so reduce wMaxPacketSize
from its former value of 4, which was derived from USB 2.0 spec and
the kernel's USB_MAXCHILDREN limit. They don't apply because USB 3.2
10.15.2.1 specifies SuperSpeed hubs to have up to 15 ports.

Tao Xue found that some common devices violate USB 3.x section 9.6.7
by reporting wBytesPerInterval lower than the size of packets they
actually send. I confirmed that AX88179 may set it to 0 and RTL8153
CDC configuration sets it to 8 but sends both 8 and 16 byte packets:
S Ii:11:007:3 -115:128 16 <
C Ii:11:007:3 0:128 8 = a1000000 01000000
S Ii:11:007:3 -115:128 16 <
C Ii:11:007:3 0:128 16 = a12a0000 01000800 00000000 00000000
Most xHCI host controllers neglect interrupt bandwidth reservations
and let such devices exceed theirs, some fail the URB with EOVERFLOW.
Assume that wBytesPerInterval lower than wMaxPacketSize is bogus and
increase it to the worst case maximum on interrupt IN endpoints. This
solves xHCI problems and appears to have no other effect. Interrupt
transfers are not limited to one interval and drivers submit URBs of
class defined size without looking at wBytesPerInterval. Any multi-
interval transfer is considered terminated by a packet shorter than
wMaxPacketSize regardless of wBytesPerInterval - see USB3 8.10.3.
Stay in spec on OUT endpoints and isochronous. No buggy devices are
known and we don't want to risk sending more data than the device
is prepared to handle or confusing isoc drivers regarding altsetting
capacities guaranteed by the device itself. And don't complain when
wMaxPacketSize <= wBytesPerInterval < wMaxPacketSize * (bMaxBurst+1)
because enabling this seems to be the exact goal of the spec.

Core usually prints endpoint addresses with 0x%X format.
Change this code to use it too, instead of just %d.
Particularly for IN, 0x83 seems more readable than 131.
While at that, fix checkpatch warnings about multi-line
quoted strings, as well as missing or doubled whitespace
in those strings.
