Anders, did you ever have a chance to look at this? I am seeing this 
same warning that is filling up the kernel logs in v3.18-rc6.

The device I am using is:

|ID 0846:9030 NetGear, Inc. WNA1100 Wireless-N 150 [Atheros AR9271]||

I found that if I revert kernel commit 2b72111 that the warning stops, but the device does not work very well.||If you are interested to know more about the symptoms we are seeing, there is a bug report here: <https://github.com/ev3dev/ev3dev/issues/152>. But, I figured at least knowing the kernel commit that introduced the problem would be helpful.|

Hi,

While porting an internal BSP (a design based on a at91sam9g20 SoC)
from 3.10 to 3.14, I got flooded with messages like:

~# usb 1-1: new full-speed USB device number 3 using at91_ohci

After temporarily reverting commit
3482528e9aced9234d4e2a4a9538c882a9aa5aa2, which enables debug checks
on all USB urb's (previously is was only enabled for a
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG enabled kernel), the WiFi chip starts to work
correctly. The chip in question is a ar9721.

 The same USB stick works without these messages on my laptop; while
another USB stick, based on an rtl8187 chip, works without these
messages on the target system (at91sam9g20)

Any pointers to what it could be? Or suggestions on how to attack the issue?

Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Anders
