Alternative USB driver/overlay for Raspberry Pis

[hamishmb]

Just checked all the pis are still accessible. All seems fine so I'm going to consider this done and working now.

Agreed.

Okay, may be worth holding off on updates for all the pis that are using this driver - at home I am having issues with it on an original Pi 1 Model B (256 MB RAM). There is a forum topic here to track the issue and hold details (if anyone replies) at: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/view ... 8&t=290772

I continue to use this on my Pi 3 B+ with no issues, and AFAIK there are no issues at WMT, so it may be an issue with this particular pi or power supply. It is second hand, and a very early revision (the first!), so it could be a hardware issue that was later fixed. Nevertheless, I suggest we exercise some caution until I figure out why I'm having troubles.

OK.

NB: Bug also reported at https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/3969, we'll see what happens.

The river system pis are running a slightly older version of the kernel etc so might not be affected. There is no evidence that any of them have a problem right now.
