Upon resume today morning, surprisingly, I get the lsusb output reporting the
device. Earlier, it used to knockoff the device from the list.

And dmesg reported it detected and then, like you've analyzed so far,
disconnected.

Trying to read the /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices led to a hung process. The
process is in uninterruptible sleep. I'm seeing this for the very first time for
a USB (Non Storage) device. Perhaps it has to do with the frequent resets.

rrs@learner:/var/tmp$ ps aux | grep "cat devices"

I've gotten some kernel oopses show up for the very first time, for this bug.
The oops is showing trace of the usb device. And it looks like it got hung in
device removal.

dmesg output with oops available at link below.
https://people.debian.org/~rrs/tmp/usb-kernel-oops.txt

In one of yesterday's email, I have shared the output of
/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices before the bug is triggered. The same I've pasted
below.

T:  Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=03 Cnt=01 Dev#=  2 Spd=480  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1

S:  Manufacturer=Generic
S:  Product=USB2.0-CRW
S:  SerialNumber=20100201396000000
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=500mA
I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=rtsx_usb

E:  Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   3 Ivl=64ms


I'll pick the same again when I reboot.
