Never mind, I have reproduced the lockdep splat and the patch fixes it for me.

Moreover, I've discovered that we call dev_pm_qos_hide_flags() from
usb_port_device_release(), which is totally incorrect.

So, I have two patches (on top of the Linus' tree) that will follow shortly:

[1/2] USB / PM: Don't try to hide PM QoS flags from usb_port_device_release()
[2/2] PM / QoS: Avoid possible deadlock related to sysfs access

Thanks,
Rafael
