Ok, just to double check:
I take the existing driver code (I will not apply the earlier RFC on top of
that) and apply one more check before the original stall check (that is):
} else if (QTD_CERR(token)) {
The check that I will add is checking MMF bit && PID == IN, and this check
comes right after the babble check, right?
Good, seems like a simple change. Yet I still prefer to test the change.
Unfortunately that goes to the next week as we have a national holiday
tomorrow.
I will get back to you most likely on Monday.
