Hi,

And thanks for the report!

Since it seems to be an “USB 2.0 hub controller driver”, I suppose this
should be in usb-modules and not specifically in nic-usb-modules. Since
the drivers/usb/misc might have various unneeded things, I've chosen not
to add this directory to usb-modules, but to include the usb3503 module
specifically on the two arm{hf,64} archs that ship it.

Kernel team: Please note that there's a similar driver, usb4604, but
that one isn't even enabled as a module in the current (sid) kernel
configuration.

A backport of this addition to stretch would be welcome.

Thanks for your time.


KiBi.
