These are low-level hardware errors. Maybe in the device, maybe caused
by the USB cable, maybe in your EHCI controller.
Some tests to try:
Does the device work at high speed in a different computer?
Does it work in other ports on your computer or with a different
USB cable?
Do other high-speed devices work on your computer?

Go back and look at that bug report again. It had "error -110", not
"error -71". The two are very different.
