Thanks, but again, we can not take attached patches :(

Ok, it looks like there is a very broken USB controller chip out there
in all of these devices.

Sorry, I wasn't specific.  What happens with your patch applied, and
THEN you run 'lsusb -v' on the system?  Does the devices reset then?

For obvious reasons, we can't sign off on other people's patches.  But
we can rewrite them, I'll go do that later today, and give you
reported-by credit.

Note, for the future, if you wish to contribute kernel patches, please
read the documentation section about how to write changelog text, as
what you provided we couldn't take as-is.
