Hi Milo,
I'm not suggesting that your patch is the cause, just that it is an
'enabler' and and explains why the problem (system lockup when I plug USB
Bluetooth dongle in) appears now.

A full Oops log is further back in this thread:

>> Will try building 4.1 with this option to see if it fails.

A very quick test as I was leaving the house this morning shows that 4.1
with 'CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK' does not show the problem.

So at least we know the 'real' problem is a recent change to the code.
