Thank you, I saw that patch. But I just knew my HW board would be
received in early September. Apology for that. When I get the board, I
will test it at once.

BTW, I have another small fix which sent last month:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=137105158909488&w=2
Could you kindly also queue it in your test branch? :)

Thanks,
Rui
