Hi


So here we go with traces - made with freshly compiled recent 4.13-rc2.
OK trace is with revert patch applied.
BAD trace is the one with it (essentially vaniala master).

Trace also has KOBJECT debugging enabled - I think difference is
nicely visible between them - but I've no explanation for it.

Both traces start with cable detach followed with attachment.

Regards

Zdenek
