What real difference does this patch make?  What would a user do with
-EPIPE?

And USB devices _are_ required to provide a string descriptor if they
provide a string id, so your changelog body doesn't make much sense.  I
suggest rewriting it to say they aren't required to provide a string
descriptor for string 0.

But even then, I don't understand the goal of this patch.

thanks,

Not much difference, except e.g. a log line that isn't red.

I'm happy to drop this patch request, since in my case the return value is 
-ENODATA, which is covered by the other patch: [RFC PATCH] usb: core: log 
more general message on malformed LANGID descriptor
