Sorry,

I thought this was clear. Your patch is making the assumption that
the reset is triggered by the SCSI layer. You cannot make that
assumption, as there is an ioctl for resetting a USB device.
In case we are getting an error during the reset (our endpoints
vanish), the device driver must report that to the USB layer,
so the driver will always be disconnected.
We cannot drop errors.
