Subject: Re: [PATCH] USB: Fix configuration selection issues introduced in v4.20.0

Hey there.

Sorry to nag, but it seems we came to the conclusion that there's
indeed a problem with the current code, and then collectively decided
that we're done. Can I do something to expedite this? Are there any
issues with my proposed patch? If there are, what can I do to fix
those? Alternatively, perhaps it would be easier/faster if a bona fide
kernel developer could fix problems described in this thread (well,
actually, I believe we're down to one somewhat pressing problem, which
could be fixed just by moving some code around)
