I am okay with the code change.

But since the current logic is here for a long time, I am not sure whether
other USB keyboard device will have functional/performance impact for this
change.

Besides the above mentioned Aspeed BMC HID keyboard device (which has a
performance issue for the Get_Protocol request that the patch is going to
drop), could you at least try one USB keyboard device that works fine with
the origin code logic to see if there is any side effect for this patch?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Hao Wu
