This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: hub: Prevent hub autosuspend if usbcore.autosuspend is -1 to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From bdd405d2a5287bdb9b04670ea255e1f122138e66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roger Quadros <rogerq@xxxxxx> Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2014 12:44:46 +0300 Subject: usb: hub: Prevent hub autosuspend if usbcore.autosuspend is -1 If user specifies that USB autosuspend must be disabled by module parameter "usbcore.autosuspend=-1" then we must prevent autosuspend of USB hub devices as well. commit 596d789a211d introduced in v3.8 changed the original behaivour and stopped respecting the usbcore.autosuspend parameter for hubs.
