Ok, this has now become a high quality series with picture-perfect patches AFAICS. 

Thomas also gave his Acked-by to all the patches.

I've applied them locally to -tip (it appears the USB maintainers are still fine 
with this being carried in tip:x86/debug for a v4.12 merge, right?), and will push 
them out and will propagate them to linux-next as well if they pass testing.

Thanks for the great work!
