If problem here is just printing errors, I think we are ok. If problem
is some hung or infinity loop, it should be fixed.

Some (out of tree) usb host drivers returns EPROTO all the time
in some error conditions. On rt2x00 resubmitting urb resulted in
infinity loop:

Fix I proposed for that was counting EPROTO errors and 
mark device as removed if 10 of them happened in row:
