Hi, Sent to everyone so that build and compile tests will be possible. Only Greg should need to pull this into a tree, though, to send upstream. Thanks, Nish Description: Change the units of the timeout parameter in both usb_control_msg() and usb_bulk_msg() from jiffies to milliseconds. This is the core patch upon which the remaining ones will be built. Patch is compile-tested.
