Sorry... I actually didn't know about that file, I just added the
"should be backported" line because I have seen that in other commits.
I will adhere to those rules in the future.

The patch is a little over the line limit (150+ lines with context,
although most of it are scattered single-line changes). The issue it
solves is that a USB device may silently stop working until it is
disconnected, not sure if that's enough to qualify as "oh, that's not
good". I'll let you decide whether it still should be queued up for
stable backports or not.
