This bug prevents printers from working when using teh NetMos Technology 9835 controller.  This commit will also be reverted in upstream Mainline and Stable:

Stable trees are already reverting this commit as a regression has
been reported both by Joe (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/1/359) and
another unhappy user (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/30/32).

Since its a regression, it probably doesn't make sense to wait for the
stable updates, hence my ACK.

Cheers,
