How deep did you dig in the code?

The error message looks like the kernel couldn't read the device
descriptor.  This is a really fundemental part of the USB, so it
is not just that the device has a non-standard interface...

So it might be that device is just buggy and need a quirk, or
(IMHO more likely) that there is some bug in our USB code.
Charles fixed some similar lossage recently.  Have you tried
after those changes?
