Okay, I'll dig up and dust off that old patch. It doesn't address synchronous unlinks per se; what it does is wait for the driver's state to go away during unbinding (hence during config changes or disconnection). That state includes all in-flight URBs for the affected endpoints, so the end result is the same as a synchronous unlink. But it only applies during those special circumstances. Of course, those are generally the circumstances where it matters most.
