Yes.  That is why we always recommend getting all kernel patches

2.6.29 is already released, you would think they would know if it was in

Send the patch to the linux-usb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list, and cc:

verify that the patch isn't already in there by looking at Linus's git
tree first if you want to.
