Nope.  Here's the upstream commit IDs of the patches that need to be
backported to stable.  Let me know if you need them in patch form:

d3b9d7a9051d7024a93c76a84b2f84b3b66ad6d5 USB: Fix connected device switch to Inactive state.
a24a6078754f28528bc91e7e7b3e6ae86bd936d8 USB: Rip out recursive call on warm port reset.
2d4fa940f99663c82ba55b2244638833b388e4e2 USB: Prepare for refactoring by adding extra udev checks.
0fe51aa5eee51db7c7ecd201d42a977ad79c58b6 USB: Don't use EHCI port sempahore for USB 3.0 hubs.
