I trace it down, and the EPROTO status comes from ctx.status (returned from usb_start_wait_urb() in drivers/usb/core/message.c)
And, in my case, the ctx.status is set to EPROTO in qtd_copy_status() ( drivers/usb/host/ehci-q.c )
in the code:
} else if (token & QTD_STS_XACT) {
	/* timeout, bad CRC, wrong PID, etc */
	ehci_dbg(ehci, "devpath %s ep%d%s 3strikes\n",
		urb->dev->devpath,
		usb_pipeendpoint(urb->pipe),
		usb_pipein(urb->pipe) ? "in" : "out");
	status = -EPROTO;

enabling this log, I get:
atmel-ehci 700000.ehci: devpath 2.1 ep1in 3strikes
atmel-ehci 700000.ehci: devpath 2.1 ep0in 3strikes
atmel-ehci 700000.ehci: devpath 2.1 ep1in 3strikes
atmel-ehci 700000.ehci: devpath 2.1 ep0in 3strikes
ieee80211 phy0: rt2800usb_tx_sta_fifo_read_completed: Warning - TX status read failed -71
