From: Marius C Silaghi <msilaghi@fit.edu>

This patch is generated against the last kernel version in the github kernel repository.
Some older families of USB2 cameras (STC-XXXXXUSB) do not support querying only the first 8 bytes of their 
device descriptor and therefore fail at enumeration on USB3 HCDs, with babble error -75 as they send more than
the expected 8 bytes. The proposed patch extends the mechanism used for non USB3 HCDs in the first part of 
the same function, and  successively tries to query both the 8 byte prefix of the device descriptor, as well as 
the whole device descriptor (in case the old style query of the 8 byte prefix fails).
In fact, for the cameras I try to fix, the preferred condition is the negation of the one in the proposed patch,  
"if (!USE_NEW_SCHEME(retry_counter))", to try first the version successful on this case, but I keep the 
current order of the "if" branches to ensure clean continuation of support for other supported devices.

Great observation,
Sarah located a patch that is queued for the 3.14 kernel and that has a similar effect. So future kernels could work with that one as well.

The patch I provided (being very small and safe) can still be suggested for maintainers of older kernels in various long-term maintained distributions (if you know who is doing that).

Here are some versions of the patch I made for current kernels:

The next one was tested on Ubuntu, applied to the source for 3.5.0-17-generic (Ubuntu)

Hi,


I encountered the same problem with another device.
If possible, it would be nice to pick Marius's patch for stable
kernels (tested here on v3.12.6).

There are chances that MacOSX is affected by a similar issue,
so if anybody has friends there...


Thanks,
