I am running with that patch here now (thanks),
and it too appears to prevent the lockups.

But is this patch upstream already?
If yes, then it needs to get pushed out to -stable for 3.12 at least.

If not upstream, then the revert is probably safest for -stable,
rather than new code that has never been upstream before.

Both patches are attached to this email.
One or the other is required for the USB 3.0 network adapters to function in 3.12.

Thanks
