usb causing 5.3 release/stable crash?

[david uy]

Yet another reply to self!

Got some info from the current mailing list - seems they have a patch
for this but don't know how to apply it.  Patch maybe?

Has this patch been included in the latest -stable?  Building world as
I write this.  Will attempt to apply the patch, too!  *fingers
crossed*
