Well a non response, or nothing like "it should fixed as of build X"
generally means no change. If you don't get a response from busy
people the general way not to get a response is to keep sending
essentially the same message of "USB NOT WORKING" because before long
it's like the boy who cried wolf.... no matter how useful the
information you provide it gets ignored due to the rest of the noise.

If it works for a bit and then stops you might like to see if there's
a means of disabling usb suspend or suspend in general. Not sure how
to do this, modinfo from the kernel module side will be your friend,
and google for the general option.

Well it worked for me for things plugged into usb like a 802.15.4
adapter with F-21 but all my devices are long running F-22.

Well the kernel is the same across all images so I suspect the results
will be the same. A USB storage device mounted might now allow the
driver/usb/something sleep though.
