Actually, I think neither the above nor the issue you reported is a
problem at all, because xhci_setup_device() checks if command->status
is COMP_COMMAND_ABORTED and returns early in this case. At a quick
glance, other command handlers do the same.

This status code is always assigned by xhci_cleanup_command_queue().

Michal
