He did:

Technically yes. Backporting 987351e1ea7772 to v4.19.x avoids the panic.
...
FWIW I confirm that:
* setup [A] leads to the issue reported in [C]
* setup [B] resolves the issue reported in [C]

[A] v4.19 + 16bdc04cc98 + 1cb3b0095c3 + 79112cc3c29f
[B] v4.19 + 16bdc04cc98 + 1cb3b0095c3 + 79112cc3c29f + 987351e1ea7
[C] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20200709070023.GA18414@lxhi-065.adit-jv.com/
