That's all very well, but that isn't going to get into a stable release
for another 3 months! Device ID updates that don't require new
supporting code should be sent upstream straight away (and cc'd to
stable@kernel.org).
I've cherry-picked this and the other two updates in rt2800usb that
aren't in Linus's tree, but that doesn't help the users of other
distributions that would benefit from them.
