i don't think this is necessary and my USB knowledge is to little. I've setup a jenkins to catch regressions from linux-next. This is currently sufficient.

Thanks for the hints. The BCM2835 only have 8 EP, so my test setup isn't big:

1x Rasberry Pi 2 (with onboard ethernet SMSC95xx via USB)
1x keyboard connected to the Pi directly
1x external powered 7 port HUB (1x mice and 1x USB serial adapter)

/:  Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=dwc2/1p, 480M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/5p, 480M
        |__ Port 1: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=smsc95xx, 480M
        |__ Port 2: Dev 4, If 0, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 1.5M
        |__ Port 2: Dev 4, If 1, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 1.5M
        |__ Port 4: Dev 5, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M
            |__ Port 1: Dev 6, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M
                |__ Port 1: Dev 7, If 0, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 1.5M
                |__ Port 4: Dev 8, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=, 12M

But even in this simple scenario, your patch #1 is an improvement.

Without the hub connected and without your patch
or with the hub (and the 2 devices) connected and with your patch the SMSC95xx works properly:

[   45.668254] smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: hardware isn't capable of remote wakeup
[   47.146506] smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xCDE1

But with the hub (and the 2 devices) connected and without your patch the SMSC95xx driver has timeouts and in the result the RPi won't get an IP from my router:

So you can have my
