Which usb_control_msg() call are you referring to?  Is it the call
under hub_port_status()?

You need to do a better job of figuring out why these errors occur.  It 
is not connected to the resume delay; there must be a different reason.
Hint: This is the sort of error you would expect to see if the kernel 
tried to resume a device while its parent hub was still suspended.

This makes no sense at all.  At this point we haven't even started to
do the resume signalling, so there's no reason to wait for it to 
finish.

This is wrong also.  At this point the resume signal _is_ being sent, 
and the USB spec requires that we wait a minimum amount of time for the 
device to fully resume.
