There is no need to get an interface specification if we know it's the wrong one; trivial change.
Is it related to stack corruption? If not, it's asking to be in a separate patch.
The big thing, though, was explained in the #mipslinux IRC channel: [Mon 2013-08-19 12:28:21 PM PDT] <headless> guys, are you sure it's not "DMA off stack" case? [Mon 2013-08-19 12:28:35 PM PDT] <headless> it's a known stack corruptor on non-coherent arches [Mon 2013-08-19 12:31:48 PM PDT] <DonkeyHotei> headless: for usb/ehci? [Mon 2013-08-19 12:34:11 PM PDT] <DonkeyHotei> headless: explain [Mon 2013-08-19 12:35:38 PM PDT] <headless> usb_control_msg() (or other such func) should not use buffer on stack. DMA from/to stack is prohibited [Mon 2013-08-19 12:35:58 PM PDT] <headless> and EHCI uses DMA on control xfers (as well as all the others)
That headless was me. :-)
