Why can't I take a USB patch for a regression fix? Is drm somehow
stand-alone that you make changes here that should belong in other
subsystems?
{hint, it shouldn't be}
When you start poking in the internals of usb controller structures,
that logic belongs in the USB core for all drivers to use, not in a
random tiny subsystem where no USB developer will ever notice it? :)
