Also, could you describe the symptoms further?  What steps would I
perform to reproduce the bug if I had the hardware, what are the
expected and actual results, and how does the difference indicate a
bug?

If you connect the samsung galaxy S (i know also SII is affected) to the usb hub and activate usb tethering it won't create usb0 interface and dmesg shows this:

[  509.033511] usb 2-2: USB disconnect, device number 5
[  509.304059] usb 2-2: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd
[  509.438155] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=6881
[  509.438165] usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[  509.438172] usb 2-2: Product: SAMSUNG_Android
[  509.438178] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG
[  509.438183] usb 2-2: SerialNumber: 353271BC9D8400EC
[  509.743606] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether
[  509.745205] usb 2-2: bad CDC descriptors
[  509.745231] usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_host
[  509.753788] usb 2-2: bad CDC descriptors
[  509.753821] usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_wlan

If you apply the patch and rebuild the kernel the usb0 interface is created correctly when you activate usb tether.

I don't know what else can i comment, surely there are people much more prepared than me to report this things, but i'll try my best if you ask me something or ask me tro try anything
 
Thanks for your work,
Jonathan

No, Thanks for yours
