Oh, Andreas could you please check if reducing the queue limit to 8 as in the
rt2x00 USB RFC I sent before makes any difference?

Nevertheless, you didn't see a regression with this patch. Hence, I'd say it
should go in as it fixes a (at least theoretical) race. I'll resubmit it
together with my other pending patches.

Thanks,
Helmut
