Yes... http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=118598561010046&w=2

However, I have not tested this with a VIA EHCI controller (though it's
been tested with Intel, Broadcom, and nVidia).  This patch uses the
"inactivate" bit in the QH, which wasn't previously used by the linux
kernel, and I found that the different vendors of EHCI controllers
(Intel, Broadcom, nVidia) all handle this a little differently.  There's
probably something about the way VIA controllers respond to seeing this
bit set that is breaking things.

I'll try to get my hands on a VIA EHCI controller so I can look at
this... if you happen to know of an add-in card that has one of these,
please let me know!  It would be a lot easier for me to debug this
myself here than to try to get someone else to run test kernels for
me...
