Thanks for looking into this bug rapport.

Yes, I am already running tests on the patches.
I have not seen any oops yet and it seems the USB cdc-acm driver is still
working as intended.

The only notable trace I have seen is this new error from the cdc-acm driver
but everything kept on working.
kernel: cdc_acm 1-1.1:1.7: acm_start_wb - usb_submit_urb(write bulk) failed: -19

Other then that I see this common error (should probably be a warning) during
device enumeration:
kernel: cdc_acm 1-1.2:1.0: failed to set dtr/rts

I will post an update next week when the patches have survived some
more runtime.
