Alright... well since you no longer have the device, I guess we have no choice.

In the future, can you push these upstream sooner so the other distros and
users can get the fixes as well, and so that hopefully we can refine the
patch before the data is lost?

Alright... I guess I just want the one comment cleaned up - do you want me
to do it or would you like to send an updated patch? No need to send it to
LKML, just me and the two USB lists. I'll sanity-check it and then sign-off
on it.

Thanks.
