Anyway, I have tested the appended patch on top of [1/7]-[7/7] and my test boxappears to work fine with it, although it doesn't work in the "async for all"case.
I guess the next step will be to see which devices are not handledasynchronously with the patch below and try to figure out which of thembreak(s) things.
Thanks,Rafael
