This patch introduces a new USB quirk,
USB_QUIRK_SHORT_SET_ADDRESS_REQ_TIMEOUT, which modifies the timeout value
for the 'SET_ADDRESS' request. The standard timeout for USB request/command
is 5000 ms, as recommended in the USB 3.2 specification (section 9.2.6.1).

However, certain scenarios, such as connecting devices through an APTIV
hub, can lead to timeout errors when the device enumerates as full speed
initially and later switches to high speed during chirp negotiation.

In such cases, USB analyzer logs reveal that the bus suspends for
5 seconds due to incorrect chirp parsing and resumes only after two
consecutive timeout errors trigger a hub driver reset.

This 5-second delay in device enumeration is undesirable, particularly
in automotive applications where quick enumeration is crucial
(ideally within 3 seconds).

The newly introduced quirks provide the flexibility to align with a
3-second time limit, as required in specific contexts like automotive
applications.

By reducing the 'SET_ADDRESS' request timeout to 500 ms, the
system can respond more swiftly to errors, initiate rapid recovery, and
ensure efficient device enumeration. This change is vital for scenarios
where rapid smartphone enumeration and screen projection are essential.

To use the quirk, please write "vendor_id:product_id:p" to
/sys/bus/usb/drivers/hub/module/parameter/quirks

For example,
echo "0x2c48:0x0132:p" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/hub/module/parameters/quirks"
