Oliver:

The reason for this stall is because the driver goes into a tight
resubmit loop when the interrupt URB completes with an unrecognized
error status.  Instead, the driver should log an error message and
avoid resubmitting.  Error recovery can be done at a higher level.

In other words, change the

			goto resubmit; /* Maybe we can recover. */

line in the completion handler into a return.
