Subject: staging: vt6656: [BUG] Fix for TX USB resets from vendors driver.

commit 9df682927c2e3a92f43803d6b52095992e3b2ab8 upstream.

This fixes resets on heavy TX data traffic.

//2007-0725, RobertChang add, Enable Squelch detect reset option(SQ_RST_Opt), USB (register4, bit1)
CONTROLnsRequestIn(pDevice,
                                 MESSAGE_TYPE_READ,
                                 (WORD)0x600+4,     // USB's Reg4's bit1
                                 MESSAGE_REQUEST_MEM,
                                 1,
                                 (PBYTE) &byData);
byData = byData|2 ;
CONTROLnsRequestOut(pDevice,
                              MESSAGE_TYPE_WRITE,
                              (WORD)0x600+4,     // USB's Reg4's bit1
                              MESSAGE_REQUEST_MEM,
                              1,
                              (PBYTE) &byData);

return TRUE;//ntStatus;
....

A back port patch is needed for kernels less than 3.10.
