Ping!

This series seems to be hanging around. It would be nice to get these
patches upstream, as they help my uvc-gadget workflow. Without them it
is likely that in the development cases my gadget won't start and then
leave the whole xhci controller broken.

@Laurent, what do you think?

Regards,
Michael
