I get something similar but better:
usb-storage: Command MODE_SENSE (6 bytes)
usb-storage:  1a 00 3f 00 c0 00
usb-storage: Bulk Command S 0x43425355 T 0x6 L 192 F 128 Trg 0 LUN 0 CL 6
usb-storage: usb_stor_bulk_transfer_buf: xfer 31 bytes
usb-storage: Status code 0; transferred 31/31
usb-storage: -- transfer complete
usb-storage: Bulk command transfer result=0
usb-storage: usb_stor_bulk_transfer_sglist: xfer 192 bytes, 1 entries
usb-storage: Status code -121; transferred 36/192
usb-storage: -- short read transfer
usb-storage: Bulk data transfer result 0x1
usb-storage: Attempting to get CSW...

So I get 36 bytes, then code goes on into one reset, and every thing is then
fine.

Could you put us out of our mesery and revert that patch:
[SCSI] usb: transport - convert to accessors and !use_sg code path removal
(6d416e6173394defda5933e419e805b696681b7e)

to make sure this is it. I hate to do this to you, but I cannot reproduce the
failure down here. If it works please send a log with the debugs on perhaps
we can compare.

You will need to configure out the CONFIG_USB_STORAG_* they will not compile
you should have only have CONFIG_USB_STORAGE & CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG. it should
support your HW.


Thanks Jens
