I had a v2 prepared and ready but was told to wait for a week before sending it in,
since usb_control_msg_{send|recv}() that were being used were not present in the
networking tree at the time, and all the trees would be converged by then.
So, just to be on the safer side, I waited for two weeks.
I checked the net tree, and found the APIs there too (defined in usb.h).

However the build seems to fail here,
    https://lists.01.org/hyperkitty/list/kbuild-all@xxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/O2BERGN7SYYC6LNOOKNUGPS2IJLDWYT7/

I'm not entirely sure at this point why this is happening, and would appreciate it if
someone could take the time to tell me if and how this might be an issue with my
patch.

Thanks,
Anant
