Let's continue to work with 2.6.30-rc for testing purposes.

Yes, there's an obvious problem.

I don't know what's going on with that frontend number.  In fact, I 
don't know anything about DVB in general... but I am familiar with 
EHCI.

It's not obvious what could be causing this, so let's start out easy.  
Try collecting two usbmon traces (instructions are in
Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt), showing what happens with and without
the reversion.  Maybe some difference will stick out.
