The Claw MCU re-sends an unhandled ACK roughly every 2 seconds until it
receives another command. When an ACK arrives with waiting_cmd set to
CLAW_COMMAND_TYPE_NONE, such as after a command is written through
hidraw or once orphan_ack_pending has been cleared without a subsequent
command, the driver currently logs "Got unexpected ACK from MCU,
ignoring" on every re-transmission and never clears the MCU's pending
ACK state.
Schedule a work item that issues a harmless READ_GAMEPAD_MODE query when
an unexpected ACK arrives. Receiving any command causes the MCU to stop
re-sending the pending ACK, eliminating the repeated events and log
spam.
Fixes: a9517958e828 ("HID: hid-msi: Add MSI Claw configuration driver")
