    carl9170: fix sending URBs with wrong type when using full-speed · 671796dd
    Ronald Wahl authored
    The driver assumes that endpoint 4 is always an interrupt endpoint.
    Unfortunately the type differs between high-speed and full-speed
    configurations while in the former case it is indeed an interrupt
    endpoint this is not true for the latter case - here it is a bulk
    endpoint. When sending URBs with the wrong type the kernel will
    generate a warning message including backtrace. In this specific
    case there will be a huge amount of warnings which can bring the system
    to freeze.
    
    To fix this we are now sending URBs to endpoint 4 using the type
    found in the endpoint descriptor.
    
    A side note: The carl9170 firmware currently specifies endpoint 4 as
    interrupt endpoint even in the full-speed configuration but this has
    no relevance because before this firmware is loaded the endpoint type
    is as described above and after the firmware is running the stick is not
    reenumerated and so the old descriptor is used.
