I still think resetting the devices is necessary. Reading your original mails , I think reason 2 you mentioned, resetting the devices in the first kernel, may be a good solution. Well, I am now working on Bill's patch that you mentioned. As it is not accepted yet, I will create a new version for latest stable kernel 3.17.
