Yes, you should kill them explicitly. Any outstanding urbs will be
killed by usb core if you fail to do this.

Please make sure to test your patches on proper hardware.

No, they will have been killed by usb core even if you forget to do it,
so this would prevent any further reads.

You don't and should not.

Why do you think so?

No.
