USB: quirks: add USB_QUIRK_WINDOWS_CONFIG_REQ_SIZE for GameSir G7 SE

The GameSir G7 SE wired controller first enumerates as 3537:10a0 and then re-enumerates in a mode it picks from how the host enumerated it.

When the configuration descriptor is fetched the Linux way, 9 bytes followed by the full 80, the controller disconnects about 1 ms after its string descriptors have been read, before SET_CONFIGURATION, and comes back as 3537:1082, a generic HID gamepad without force feedback.

When the configuration descriptor is fetched in one 255-byte request, as Windows does, it comes back as 3537:1010 in Xbox One (GIP) mode, which xpad already supports, including rumble.

Skipping the device qualifier requests (USB_QUIRK_DEVICE_QUALIFIER) makes no difference; the configuration descriptor request size alone decides the mode. Add USB_QUIRK_WINDOWS_CONFIG_REQ_SIZE for the 10a0 identity, as is already done for the ShanWan Wireless Gamepad.

Tested on 7.2.7 (x86_64, xHCI) by setting usbcore.quirks=3537:10a0:r at runtime. With it, the controller settles as 3537:1010 on every plug-in, is bound by xpad as "GameSir G7 SE", and rumble works through xpad's force feedback. Without it, it settles as 3537:1082 every time. The patch itself is against v7.3-rc5.

usbmon of the 3537:10a0 enumeration without the quirk: GET_DESCRIPTOR (CONFIGURATION) with wLength 9, then 80, then string descriptors 0, 2, 1 and 3. The port reports a disconnect about 1 ms after the serial number string, and the SET_CONFIGURATION that follows fails with -EPROTO. With the quirk, the only difference is a single wLength 255 configuration request, after which the device re-enumerates as 3537:1010.

Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman. You have sent him a patch that has triggered this response. He used to manually respond to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was created. Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s) as indicated below:

- It looks like you did not use your "real" name for the patch on either the Signed-off-by: line, or the From: line (both of which have to match). Please read the kernel file, Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for how to do this correctly.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received from other developers.

thanks,
