There is a potential delay in announcing downstream USB bus activity to
Linux USB drivers due to the default interrupt endpoint having a poll
interval of 256ms.
Microchip has recommended ignoring the device descriptor and reducing
that value to 32ms, as it was too late to modify it in silicon.
This patch aims to speed up the USB enumeration process, facilitating
the successful completion of Apple CarPlay certifications and enhancing
user experience when utilizing USB devices through the Microchip Multihost
Hub.
A new quirk, USB_QUIRK_REDUCE_FRAME_INTR_BINTERVAL, accelerates the
notification process by changing the Endpoint interrupt poll interval
from 256ms to 32ms.

But this is meant to apply only to hubs, right? So shouldn't it be a
HUB_QUIRK_32_MS_INTR_INTERVAL macro, used in hub.c's hub_id_table,
rather than a general USB quirk?

256 ms and 32 ms are _periods_ (or intervals), not _rates_.
bInterval=9 corresponds to 32 ms only for High Speed and SuperSpeed*
devices. For Low and Full Speed it corresponds to 9 ms. Explanatory
comments should strive not to be misleading.

Thank you, Alan, for the feedback. To confirm my understanding, are you suggesting
moving all implementations to hub.c, adding the hub-specific quirk, and using the
same quirk to update the bInterval value parsed by usb_get_configuration() in
usb_enumerate_device()?"

Basically, yes. The update should be performed in the hub_probe()
routine if the quirk flag is set, before hub_configure() is called. It
might be necessary to add a usb_set_interface() call as well, in case
the old bInterval value has already been cached by the host controller
driver.
