Bug Description

SRU Justification:

Impact: The cdc_ncm module, which provides support for the Ericsson F5521gw Mobile Broadband Modem, unregisters the device after suspend because the .reset_resume hook in the driver is not assigned.

Fix: Upstream commit 85e3c65fa3a1d0542c181510a950a2be7733ff29

Test Case: Without the fix, after resume from suspend you'll notice messages similar to the following in dmesg output:

cdc_ncm 2-1.4:1.6: no reset_resume for driver cdc_ncm?
cdc_ncm 2-1.4:1.7: no reset_resume for driver cdc_ncm?
cdc_ncm 2-1.4:1.6: usb0: unregister 'cdc_ncm' usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.4, CDC NCM

=====

The cdc_ncm module, which provides support for the Ericsson F5521gw Mobile Broadband Modem,
unregisters the device after suspend.

This happens because the driver doesn't implement the .reset_resume hook.

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04

$ cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2

The fix was commited upstream for 3.0
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=85e3c65fa3a1d0542c181510a950a2be7733ff29

But sadly the official 2.6.38 stable tree is closed,
see http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=130737305305181&w=2

So I'd like to have this fix backported to the ubuntu natty kernel

Hi Stefan,

Care to give the following test kernel a quick test for me? I'll then submit this patch to the Ubuntu kernel-team mailing list. Thanks.

Hi Stefan,

Sorry for the delay, this should land in the next Natty kernel update.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-natty' to 'verification-done-natty'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
