Dear "Fbsd1" (Joe Barbish?), Hans meant that this is not an issue with USB kernel driver and he is totally correct. usb@ assignment is for bugs with kernel USB driver only. BTW, bootloader doesn't have any explicit knowledge of USB either, it uses BIOS interface and depends on BIOS USB emulation. I think that Hans can't change the PR assignment.
