Benjamin, Bob,

excellent work, thanks for figuring it out.

Given the nature of the bug, I'd prefer to push it to Linus for 3.9 still, 
and have it backported to -stable as well.

Once it's in Linus' tree, I will handle the fallout in 
for-3.10/hid-driver-transport-cleanups and fix the build.

Ok?

Now queued for 3.9.
