I advice using git-send-email to send patches, that avoids e-mail mangling issues.

Unless the documentation is outdated, it shouldn't be returned as a URB status error. The proper solution would thus be to fix the USB host controller. That's no small task though, from what I've heard the BCM2835 USB host controller driver is of very dubious quality. I'm sure many people would be happy if you cleaned it up ;-) > PS: I wasn't sure whether the fall-through in the default case was > intended, so I changed the behavior only for the -EIO case, but it might > be possible that the real issue is a missing break after the code for > the default case. The fall-through was intended. A couple of common error codes are expected and should not be logged, while others indicate a real problem and are printed in the kernel log. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
