Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-5.10] HID: Apply quirk HID_QUIRK_ALWAYS_POLL to Edifier QR30 (2d99:a101)
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 09:58:21 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260112145840.724774-20-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260112145840.724774-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Rodrigo Lugathe da Conceição Alves <lugathe2@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 85a866809333cd2bf8ddac93d9a3e3ba8e4f807d ]
The USB speaker has a bug that causes it to reboot when changing the
brightness using the physical knob.
Add a new vendor and product ID entry in hid-ids.h, and register
the corresponding device in hid-quirks.c with the required quirk.

## Analysis of Commit: HID: Apply quirk HID_QUIRK_ALWAYS_POLL to Edifier
QR30
### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS
The commit message clearly states:
- **Problem:** USB speaker has a bug causing it to reboot when changing
brightness using the physical knob
- **Solution:** Apply `HID_QUIRK_ALWAYS_POLL` quirk to this device
- Has "Reviewed-by:" and "Signed-off-by:" from the HID maintainer (Jiri
Kosina)
### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS
The changes are minimal and straightforward:
**hid-ids.h:** Adds 2 new defines
```c
#define USB_VENDOR_ID_EDIFIER 0x2d99
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_EDIFIER_QR30 0xa101
```
**hid-quirks.c:** Adds 1 entry to the quirks table
```c
{ HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_EDIFIER, USB_DEVICE_ID_EDIFIER_QR30),
HID_QUIRK_ALWAYS_POLL },
```
The `HID_QUIRK_ALWAYS_POLL` quirk is well-established and used by dozens
of other devices in this same file (Corsair, Dell, Elan, HP, etc.). It
forces continuous polling which prevents certain hardware misbehaviors.
### 3. CLASSIFICATION
This falls into the **"QUIRKS and WORKAROUNDS" exception category** that
is explicitly allowed in stable:
- Hardware-specific quirk for a buggy/non-compliant device
- Uses existing, well-tested quirk infrastructure
- Pattern matches many other similar entries already in stable trees
### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT
- **Lines changed:** 3 lines added (2 defines + 1 quirk entry)
- **Files touched:** 2 (hid-ids.h, hid-quirks.c)
- **Risk level:** Extremely low
- **Blast radius:** Only affects users with this specific Edifier QR30
device
- **Regression potential:** Zero for other devices - the quirk entry is
device-specific by USB vendor/product ID
### 5. USER IMPACT
- **Severity:** Device rebooting is a significant user-visible bug
- **Affected users:** Anyone with an Edifier QR30 USB speaker
- **Fix quality:** Complete fix for the reported issue
### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS
- Reviewed by Terry Junge (HID reviewer)
- Signed off by Jiri Kosina (HID subsystem maintainer)
- The `HID_QUIRK_ALWAYS_POLL` mechanism is mature and stable
### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK
- No dependencies on other commits
- The quirk infrastructure exists in all stable trees
- The change is self-contained
### Summary
This is a textbook example of a stable-worthy commit:
1. **Fixes a real bug:** Device rebooting when using physical controls
2. **Small and surgical:** Only 3 lines, no logic changes
3. **Uses existing infrastructure:** `HID_QUIRK_ALWAYS_POLL` is well-
established
4. **Device-specific:** Only affects this one USB speaker model
5. **Zero regression risk:** Cannot affect other devices
6. **Falls into explicit exception:** Device ID + quirk additions are
explicitly allowed in stable
This matches the pattern of hundreds of similar HID quirk entries that
have been backported to stable kernels. The fix is trivial, low-risk,
and solves a real user-facing problem.
