Why does my Report Descriptor is **UNAVAILABLE** in lsusb?

0

I am programming a USB-HID device based on STM32 CubeMX Mouse example. I made some modifications (interface, endpoints, report descriptor, etc using the CustomHID Class template) and I am currently testing enumeration.

Everything seems to be OK except that the lsusb command fails to dump the report descriptor:

$lsusb
Bus 001 Device 013: ID 0483:5740 STMicroelectronics STM32F407

$sudo lsusb -v -s 001:013

The only link I've found related to my problem on the web is this, however it lacks some explanations about what is done here...

[EDIT]

I have also tried to debug with HIDAPI:

For some reason, the Report descriptor is not sent when the target is plugged. However, when I connect then disconnect the target (does not matter if I send a command or not) via HIDAPI, then the Report descriptor is populated in lsusb output:

Moreover, when I spy with udevadm monitor here is the output:

And when I connect to the target with HIDAPI:

There is no more activity when I disconnect. However the Report descriptor only appears in lsusb after HIDAPI is disconnected for the target.

My guess is that something is blocking/missing right after the plug. The connection with HIDAPI triggers the sending of missing information, but I am not sure why the information is only available once HIDAPI disconnects...
