Re: Regression in kernel 3.19-rc5 for usb2 scarlett 18i20

[Guido Aulisi <guido.aulisi@gmail.com>]

I tried 3.19-rc6 and it seems to work well...
I compiled it myself using fedora config from
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/kernel.git/

Also the mixer is present and I could switch headphones on and off
(great thing).
I still have to understand most of the controls...
Thank you for the support.
If I have some time the next days, I'll try to bisect from rc5 to rc6,
to see if some commit fixed this issue, or if more probably I did
something wrong.
I always used the same usb port on my laptop, these are some info about
it:
