> > Did you mean to send this twice?

Sorry for that, I screwed things up a first time when sending the
patches: only included the CAN mailing list
(linux-can@...r.kernel.org) but ommitted linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org
in the cover letter. As a result, it broke the chain reply on lkml.org
so I preferred to resend it.

> > And where are the 5 other patches in this series?

I used the --cc-cmd="scripts/get_maintainer.pl -i" option in git
send-email to send the series. The five other patches are not related
to USB core but to CAN core, so you were not included in CC by the
script. Now, I understand this is confusing, I will take care to CC
you on the full series when sending V2. One more time, sorry for that.

For your information, the full patch series is available here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/26/319

Noted, will be included in v2 of the patch series.

This is a leftover debug feature used during development. Future
firmware version will have it remove but users with older revision
will still face this issue which can be confusing.

I will also amend the changelog to better reflect above reason.
