It's not very easy to do. The patch was written back in February, but it may have gotten "lost" since then. I'll submit it again just to be sure it's in the pipeline, and after looking it over Matt Dharm (the usb-storage maintainer) will forward it to Greg Kroah-Hartman (the overall USB maintainer) who will eventually send it on to Linus. The only way to see these things happen is to follow the mailing lists. Greg also maintains an area at kernel.org containing the patches he has accepted but not yet passed on. > The idea is that since I made the change my kernel is homegrown and I > can't update my system very well.
