this thing is this: I have downstream patches against tipd, among
others. And I don't know yet but we might very well do something wrong
in our downstream tree that is now not compatible anymore with this
removal...
I switched to a tree without any downstream stuff: For the 12 earlier
patches, I there see the follwing which is NOT your fault and we need
to fix upstream (we fix that in our downstream tree):
root@pureos:/home/purism# cat /sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred
3-0036
And then I add patch 2 of this series (removing the call from tipd), it
becomes:
root@pureos:/home/purism# cat /sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred
0-003f
38100000.usb platform: wait for supplier endpoint
3-0036
