So I think this change happened before I was around...

But I take it from recent patches that all calls to usb_unlink_urb should now be replaced by usb_kill_urb ? Is that accurate?


No, just most synchronous unlinks.  Basically there are now
different calls for sync and async operations ... with the
synchronous one doing a bunch of other stuff that's more
related to driver shutdown than urb unlinking, and which
for some reason many drivers just "assumed" would be
done for them.

Ah. A bit more subtle. Thanks for the explanation.
