[Impact]
Currently we need to recompile the entire kernel if we want try quirks
in usbcore.

[Test]
Use kernel parameter "usbcore.quirks=" in conjunction with dynamic debug
for usbcore, we can see that usb quirks successfully enabled for USB
devices dynamically.

[Fix]
Introduce a new module parameter, "usbcore.quirks=". Users now can try
different quirks without compiling anything.

[Regression Potential]
Low. It doesn't change any behavior of usb driver per se, it simply adds
new logic to detect quirks.

Kai-Heng Feng (3):
  usb: core: Add "quirks" parameter for usbcore
  usb: core: Copy parameter string correctly and remove superfluous null
    check
  usb: core: Add USB_QUIRK_DELAY_CTRL_MSG to usbcore quirks
