As you might have seen from my email to USB mailing list I
was able to nail down the problem (which apparently has nothing to do
with ARC or any other architecture in particular).

I think it worth waiting for comments on the mailing list.
If everybody is happy with my patch I'll submit it to Lede or
you may just pick it up as well - it applies on top of 4.9 perfectly fine.

FWIW that's a link to my message in linux-usb LM:
