Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] usb,uhci: add a new tag for virtual uhci devices
Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2013 09:05:03 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51CCE13F.6070009@hp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.44L0.1306271150330.1167-100000@iolanthe.rowland.org>

There was a problem, the warning "Controller not stopped yet".
And your last patch for this problem does a wrong thing:
It prevents all HP uhci devices from auto-stop, which make HP uhci 
devices waste more
power.
This is another new problem.

I think this should be corrected, so I want to apply it.

Thanks
Zhen-Hua
