Comment 5 for bug 1669815

I installed the kernel 4.4.0 provided by jsalisbury. This works for me:

$ uname -a
Linux media-desktop 4.4.0-64-generic #85~lp1666421 SMP Wed Feb 22 21:37:35 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I don't know much about the different kernel versions. Would It be possible to apply the modification to the 4.8.0 kernel as well, so I can test that, too?

I tested
 * booting without device attached, then attaching it after boot.
 * booting with device attached.
Both works fine. Should I test anything else?
