Got it ! The USB analyzer indicates that same CBW was repeated three
times in row because the device did not generate ACK for the CBW. After
three failed attempts, usb_stor_Bulk_reset is invoked. Is there a way to
increase the retry count from its current value of 3 ?

Note also that when the same key attached to a linux PC, successfully
generates ACK for all the CBW.

Thanks.

Regards
Vivek
