I just checked on the host side: With or without my patch I get
NO-CARRIER on the host. I have to do a 'ip link set usb0 up' on
the device side, with that I get a <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
on the host side.

Could it be that my patch breaks something on the device side that
prevents the device from bringing the link up?
