Yuping Luo posted a patch that was almost right:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=132024464410783&w=2
See
http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=132032964805789&w=2
for a description of what needed to be added to the patch. The patch
was never fixed up and submitted.
Would you like to update that patch and submit it?
