It's acked by one of the USB maintainers, so that goes a long way.

I saw a bug comment go flying by pointing to this same patch, but I
can't recall what bug it was.  Did you point to this in a bug, if so
which one?

Since you're applying it locally, I'm wondering if you can let us know
if it solves that particular bug.
