    USB: fix race in HCD removal · 1b42ae6d
    Alan Stern authored
    This patch (as865) fixes a race in the HCD removal code discovered by
    Milan Plzik.  Arrival of an interrupt after the root hub was
    unregistered could cause the root-hub status timer to start up, even
    after it was supposed to have been shut down.  The problem is fixed by
    moving the del_timer_sync() call to after the HCD's stop() method, at
    which time IRQ generation should be disabled.
