If there is an offending patch at all - my rc6-mm1 kernel must
have been built from messed-up sources - we saw that when your
patch did not apply.  So my source had errors - right in the USB part.

I haven't tested a correct rc6-mm1, so I don't even know if it
has problems.  I can make such a kernel of course. . .
