Thanks for the patch.

It turns out there were more issues with the error handling in this
function; for example, the URBs submitted by generic_open were never
stopped on failure to read the line status a bit further down.

I fixed that up and rebased your patch on top.

I'll post both patches to the list shortly.

And next time, please include which driver you are changing in the patch
summary and not just the subsystem prefix (e.g. use "USB: serial:
kl5kusb105: ...").
