No. The USB support is only present in the CVS HEAD, which is not
intended for submission to the kernel. Unfortunately, nobody is working
on USB support anymore. See archives for the discussion. USB device
drivers need to use a different locking model, so maybe the driver
should be forked and submitted to the kernel under a separate name. Or
we need to find something very clever to allow code reuse between USB
and non-USB code. The existing solution with conditional locking is not
considered satisfactory.
