Hi.

Fortunately, mtp is usually implemented in userland, not as kernel 
module.
It's enough for kernel to see it as USB device (you can check it in 
prtconf -v).

For example, I have

   device, instance #2
                 Driver properties:
                     name='pm-components' type=string items=3 dev=none
                         value='NAME= usb_mid2 Power' + '0=USB D3 State' 
+ '3=USB D0 State'
                 Hardware properties:

You can install gmtp and try if it sees the device. gmtp should be run 
with root privileges to be able to access device.
I've just updated gmtp and libmtp to system/media/gmtp at 1.3.10-2017.0.0.0 
, library/libmtp at 1.1.13-2017.0.0.0,
you can try updated versions.

There's one know issue - gmtp stucks when scanning device for about half 
a minute. But after that it works more or less fine.
