I have committed code to disable the USB quirks in da(4). Since we now
have code that should handle the common case of a failure after receiving
6 byte commands, most of them should no longer be necessary. However, the
only way to tell if a quirk is really needed is to test the new code with
the quirks disabled. You may have a device (USB camera, pen drive, hard
drive, ...) that begins to get errors like "BBB bulk-in clear stall
failed" or "Synchronize cache failed, status 0x35". If you get these, you
can enable previous behavior by adding:
options DA_OLD_QUIRKS
to your kernel config and recompiling. Once you do this, please send me
the output of "camcontrol inquiry da0" so I can re-enable your quirk for
good. I'm doing this as soon as possible so the unnecessary quirks can be
removed for 4.9. Once they are removed, DA_OLD_QUIRKS will go away so
please test as soon as you can. So far, there have been no problem
reports with this in 5-current.
Thanks for your patience,
Nate
