I installed the kernel 4.4.0 provided by jsalisbury. This works for me:
$ uname -a
Linux media-desktop 4.4.0-64-generic #85~lp1666421 SMP Wed Feb 22 21:37:35 UTC

I don't know much about the different kernel versions. Would It be
possible to apply the modification to the 4.8.0 kernel as well, so I can
test that, too?
I tested
* booting without device attached, then attaching it after boot.
* booting with device attached.
Both works fine. Should I test anything else?
