Hi,

Hayes proposed a solution. Basically you solve this the way HID or WDM do it
delaying resubmission. This makes me wonder whether this problem is specific
to any driver. If it is not, as I would argue, do we have a deficiency
in our API?

Should we have something like: usb_submit_delayed_urb() ?
