Well, I've had it confirmed by someone else that he's seeing the same
panics on 4.10 and that my patches make them go away.

I know the 'tsleep hack' is an inelegant band-aid fix, but it does have the
advantage of making these devices work, which IMHO has got to be better
than a panic.

I'm all in favour of fixing this properly, and I'm happy to work with
anybody with the necessary USB-fu who wants to take this on.  In the
meantime, are there any objections to me committing these changes so we can
at least have something that works, even if it's not perfect?

Cheers,

	Scott
