Nope, see commit 4f7a67e2dd49fbfba002c453bc24bf00e701cc71 as an example of how to do this. This is a random commit that has been marked as stable. commit 4f7a67e2dd49fbfba002c453bc24bf00e701cc71 Author: Ricardo Martins Date: Tue May 22 18:02:03 2012 +0100 USB: fix PS3 EHCI systems After commit aaa0ef289afe9186f81e2340114ea413eef0492a "PS3 EHCI QH read work-around", Terratec Grabby (em28xx) stopped working with AMD Geode LX 800 (USB controller AMD CS5536). Since this is a PS3 only fix, the following patch adds a conditional block around it.

Move the access to info->control.vif for checking short preamble to setup_frame_info before it gets overwritten.
