Ok, I can reproduce it almost very easy.

It does not stuck. It goes to that line which print proto error over
and over again and
nothing stops that. After some time kernel reports lockup. But
actually it's not stuck,
all cpu time was eaten by executing that handlers.

I did this patch for 4.1 but 4.6 has the same problem and patch
cleanly applies to the
latest torvalds/linux.git v4.6-rc5. This interrupt handler has the
same code.  And looks
like on 3.14 everything worked. I don't have a time to diff 2
versions. Might be regression.

Right that is the goal. On this rxcsr_h_error kernel reschedules
current interrupt.
And that continues forever. For example adding msleep() can give some
time for other
processes. I'm not an expert in this chip but I think that right
solution in that case is not
try to reschedule and quick and allow hub to make reset and once again
init all devices
(in my case ppp/pppd also shutdowns and then I bring everything up
with script.). The
same behavior with dma and pio mode.
