Yes, the issue big, not all device drivers treat the urb error status
properly. As the case #3 I mentioned earlier, even MUSB HCD returns
ESHUTDOWN, the interrupt storm still happens. Unfortunately before I
located the offending device driver, the remote setup is gone...
I agree with you, we probably should simply the number of the error code
based on the real usecases and the handlings in device drivers.
