I still not reproduce it.

It is strange your interrupt occurs at cpu2 at that time, and
so many interrupts during the removal. In order to avoid other
interrupts occurring during the removal, would you please change
your dts like below:

&usbotg {
	vbus-supply = <&reg_usb_otg_vbus>;
	dr_mode = "host";
	disable-over-current;
	status = "okay";
};

This may be correct, assume your usb receiver does not support runtime
pm, so the controller is active when it is on the port, when the
removal, the interrupt occurs so frequently, it has no chance to enter
suspend status.
