Did this patch get applied and the problem resolved?

I'm running 2.6.33.7-rt29 and we have a customer in India who
complains that they can't connect via USB. We don't have the problem
here, or anywhere else that we know of.

I looked at the logs of the device and it appears to have the same
Oops error as the one that this patch addresses.

e.g.
Oct  7 15:52:50 MDR4330-9000205 user.emerg kernel: Internal error:
