I have now applied the series to my 'picolcd' branch, except for 6/7, 
please see the comment I sent to it separately.

Would be nice to have this sorted out before the next merge window indeed, 
so that it can go in together with the rest of the changes.

So I am wondering whether the path this happens on is

                if (!test_bit(HID_OUT_RUNNING, &usbhid->iofl)) {
                        usbhid_restart_out_queue(usbhid);

in __usbhid_submit_report(). It would then indicate perhaps some race with 
iofl handling.

Could you please stick some printk() just before and after this 
usbhid_restart_out_queue() call, so that we know that it's this triggering 
it?
