Re: [PATCH 1/1] usb,uhci: add a new tag for virtual uhci devices

There was a problem, the warning "Controller not stopped yet".
And your last patch for this problem does a wrong thing:
It prevents all HP uhci devices from auto-stop, which make HP uhci devices waste more
power.
This is another new problem.

I think this should be corrected, so I want to apply it.

Thanks

Hi Alan,

I don't have a machine that this makes action different.
Then why do you want to apply the patch?

No matter whether it makes different, there is one thing will never change:
We create a patch to FIX a problem, not to avoid a problem.
Only when we can not fix it, we try to avoid it.
But in this case, there is no problem to fix or to avoid, right? After
all, how can there be a problem if no machines are affected?
