I'm a little leary of changing the way the kernel grabs the USB hardware
from the way we have been doing it for the past 6 years.  So by
providing the option for people who have broken machines like these, we
will let them work properly, and it should not affect any of the zillion
other people out there with working hardware.

Or, if we can determine a specific model of hardware that really needs
this option enabled, we can do that automatically.  If you look at the
patch, we do that for some specific IBM machines for this very reason.

Is there any consistancy with the type of hardware that you see being
reported for this issue?

thanks,

greg k-h
