[PATCH 1/1] hidraw: Use Interrupt Endpoint for OUT Transfers if Available

[Alan Ott]

From: Alan Ott <alan@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch makes the hidraw driver use the first Interrupt OUT endpoint for
HID transfers to the device if such an endpoint exists. This is consistent
with the behavior of the hiddev driver, and the logic is similar.

I believe this to be consistent with the section 4.4 of the HID 1.11
specification located at:
    http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/HID1_11.pdf

>From the specification (page numbered 10, the 20th page of the document
(xpdf page 20)):

   The Interrupt Out pipe is optional. If a device declares an Interrupt Out
   endpoint then Output reports are transmitted by the host to the device
   through the Interrupt Out endpoint. If no Interrupt Out endpoint is
   declared then Output reports are transmitted to a device through the
   Control endpoint, using Set_Report(Output) requests.

This is also consistent with the way the Windows HID library (hid.dll)
works.

Please let me know if I'm off-base here, or have misread the standard.

Alan.
