David - we prefer that these patches go upstream first. I'd create a
patch against Linus' current tree at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git,
then email the author (which appears to be Craig Shelley
craig at microtron.org.uk) and Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh at suse.de (the USB
sub-system maintainer)

See Documentation/SubmittingPatches from the kernel tree for details.
