You mean this patch [1] which actually adds the board dependency ?
Actually , no , I DID NOT. It's been going on for a while that my
role as a USB custodian was actively circumvented and patches which
should've gone through the USB tree just did not.

So please, next time you start blaming someone, get your facts right.

I already have almost zero motivation to maintain USB in my free time,
being paid nothing for it, not ever hearing a single "thank you" and
just spending time I could use otherwise. Being circumvented and only
catching shit for problematic patches I did NOT even apply though, that
is completely off-putting .

It is highly recommended.

TBH, revering 042fdb7cabb8270eb86c45f11263fa91c12e3b65 might be the way
to go.

See above, I believe 042fdb7cabb8270eb86c45f11263fa91c12e3b65 is bogus.

OK, I see me being USB custodian has exactly zero value now ... good to
know.
