Subject: Re: [REGRESSION] "USB: use kfifo to buffer usb-generic serial
 writes" causes gobi_loader to hang

Actually this all makes sense because of where it was hanging. A reply of
0 to the tty->ops->write will cause it to either return (O_NONBLOCK) or
sleep in the n_tty write code waiting for a write_wait wakeup
(tty_wakeup(tty))

So the fix does indeed look correct.
