Hi Greg,

I've created the patch against linux-stable v4.10.12. I've checked history 
of the driver and it turns out that the patch conflicts with 
9b181166f17534a82b4b628b13e524a893715dfc

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git/commit/drivers/usb/misc/legousbtower.c?h=usb-next&id=9b181166f17534a82b4b628b13e524a893715dfc

There are no conflicting changes, but context has changed.
I'll rebase and resend shortly.

The same patch can't be used for stable and for usb-next anymore. Is there
any chance to backport the fix for stable?

Regards,
Maksim.
