Changes for V2:
     - Change existing config by "CONFIG_USB_STRING_FETCH"

Changes for V3:
      - Removed extra new line
      - Explained "CONFIG_USB_STRING_FETCH" in top level README

Shouldn't this be something like ... CONFIG_USB_AVOID_STRING_FETCH then?

Anyway, how come some devices can't handle it? What happens then? What
devices are those (exact type etc)?

I believe the bug is deeper and adding extra config options can be
avoided, what do you think?

Thanks!

It does not avoid string fetch.
Well it does certainly not call usb_get_string()

Precisely, it avoids fetching string desc of 255 bytes. so better name could be
"CONFIG_USB_AVOID_STRING_FETCH_255".  Thanks for your comment.

I checked with few mass storage devices that they does not handle string
descriptor request correctly and so we get
start/stop Cache alignment error.
Cache alignment error ? Wow, how's that actually related to SUB string fetching?
Maybe we should manually realign the result then? I still don't really
understand what you're seeing, sorry ... can you please elaborate?

The particular mass storage device is -

Vendor: Kingston Rev: PMAP Prod: DataTraveler 2.0

Type: Removable Hard Disk

Capacity: 1906.0 MB = 1.8 GB (3903488 x 512)

When code tries to read Manufacturing Id..prod id...etc..it passes cache aligned buffer "tbuf" in "usb_string()" @usb.c. Inside "usb_string_sub()", usb_get_string() passes as default 255 bytes to fetch string
descriptor.
The code in "ehci_submit_async() " invalidates *partially* the passed buffer though we pass aligned buffer and "STD_ASS" is received. Though it should invalidate only the cached line which is equal(~32) to string desc length.

If we give delay of 1 ms after handshake() the cache alignment warning does not spew...but delay of 1 ms is not acceptable. So I enabled the code to fetch first string desc length and then fetch string desc fetch, in this way the issue is resolved. It makes sense also to fetch string desc length and then actual string desc....

Thanks,
Puneet

  One way is, blacklist those devices by
vendor id/product id..
etc. This is done in Linux kernel. Plz see Message.c (drivers\usb\core)
Line: 722.
Blacklisting the device requires a framework to detect the
device...However this could be achieved
simply with this implementation.
Sure, I see your intention, but I still don't get the problem, see above. Can
you also tell me if there's particular device that's broken and which one is it
(precise type etc)?

Thanks a lot for your cooperation on this matter!
