[PATCH 3.16 199/217] cdc_ncm: toggle altsetting to force reset before setup

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Tue Apr 26 2016 - 20:26:46 EST


3.16.35-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: BjÃrn Mork <bjorn@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 48906f62c96cc2cd35753e59310cb70eb08cc6a5 ]

Some devices will silently fail setup unless they are reset first.
This is necessary even if the data interface is already in
altsetting 0, which it will be when the device is probed for the
first time. Briefly toggling the altsetting forces a function
reset regardless of the initial state.

This fixes a setup problem observed on a number of Huawei devices,
appearing to operate in NTB-32 mode even if we explicitly set them
to NTB-16 mode.
