USB: change bInterval default to 10 ms
Some full-speed mceusb infrared transceivers contain invalid endpoint descriptors for their interrupt endpoints, with bInterval set to 0. In the past they have worked out okay with the mceusb driver, because the driver sets the bInterval field in the descriptor to 1, overwriting whatever value may have been there before. However, this approach was never sanctioned by the USB core, and in fact it does not work with xHCI controllers, because they use the bInterval value that was present when the configuration was installed. Currently usbcore uses 32 ms as the default interval if the value in the endpoint descriptor is invalid. It turns out that these IR transceivers don't work properly unless the interval is set to 10 ms or below. To work around this mceusb problem, this patch changes the endpoint-descriptor parsing routine, making the default interval value be 10 ms rather than 32 ms.
