Which changes did you revert?

Just the bits that changed how the headroom/tailroom sizes
were checked and adjusted.  See attachment for the revert patch
I am using here.  My mailer unfortunately likes to mangle inline patches.

Two kernels later, and this regression has still not been fixed.

A simple revert, folks.

Reverting the ax88179_178a driver doesn't fix the problem.
I'm seen tx/rx issues with it on much older kernels that don't
appear with a current kernel and the fixed xhci code.

Sarah needs to feed the xhci_ring.c fix through into stable.

Oh, I agree.  But Linus makes a MASSIVE distinction between things
that have always been broken, and REGRESSIONS from the immediately
prior kernel that can be tracked to a single update.

Let's see some action, here folks!

I'm working on it.  You will probably have to wait for -rc3, depending
on when Greg sends his next pull request.  I will Cc you on the pull
request and patch, which should be sent out today.
