more lirc_mceusb

[Wayne V. <way...@gm...>]

I hope someone is still working on this driver and will be able to point me in
the right direction.  I have a generic Phlips USB MCE remote:

I modified the source to include my Vendor/Product IDs:
/*
#define USB_MCEUSB_VENDOR_ID    0x045e
#define USB_MCEUSB_PRODUCT_ID   0x006d
*/
#define USB_MCEUSB_VENDOR_ID    0x0471
#define USB_MCEUSB_PRODUCT_ID   0x0815

and everything compiles, starts and seems to run fine, except that
neither irw nor irrecord ever see a button push.

Here is the debug output from lirc_mceusb startup:

lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
/root/lirc-0.7.0/drivers/lirc_mceusb/lirc_mceusb.c: we found a bulk out endpoint

/root/lirc-0.7.0/drivers/lirc_mceusb/lirc_mceusb.c: mceusb_setup - res = -32
usbcore: registered new driver lirc_mceusb

I suspect that -32 return from:

       res = usb_control_msg( udev, usb_rcvctrlpipe(udev, 0),
                              5, USB_TYPE_VENDOR, 0, 0,
                              data, 2, HZ * 3 );

is incorrect.   Any idea on where to go from here?
