[PATCH v2] gpib: agilent_82357a: Support some 82357B clones

From: Tom Keller

Date: Wed Sep 02 2026 - 18:41:54 EST


Some adapters marked as Agilent/Keysight 82357B are clones that
contain their own firmware. They do not support XFER_STATUS and need
slightly different initialization. Detect clone adapters that fail a
firmware load and work around their quirks.

Changes since v1:
- Keep the exiting init sequence, add a small increase to FAST_TALKER_T1
on clones.
- Clear AWF_NO_FAST_TALKER_FIRST_BYTE on command writes for all
adapters.
