(reproduced in another mail).

        _urb_queue_tail(__pending_q(husb, _urb->type), _urb);
        err = usb_submit_urb(urb, GFP_ATOMIC);
        if (err) {
                BT_ERR("%s tx submit failed urb %p type %d err %d",
                                husb->hdev->name, urb, _urb->type, err);
                _urb_unlink(_urb);

	 	 Do we need to remove urb from pending_q here?

                _urb_queue_tail(__completed_q(husb, _urb->type), _urb);
        } else
                atomic_inc(__pending_tx(husb, _urb->type));
