Subject: [PATCH 3.2 035/140] can: ems_usb: cancel urb on -EPIPE and -EPROTO

3.2.100-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Martin Kelly <mkelly@...o.com>

commit bd352e1adfe0d02d3ea7c8e3fb19183dc317e679 upstream.

In mcba_usb, we have observed that when you unplug the device, the driver will
endlessly resubmit failing URBs, which can cause CPU stalls. This issue
is fixed in mcba_usb by catching the codes seen on device disconnect
(-EPIPE and -EPROTO).

This driver also resubmits in the case of -EPIPE and -EPROTO, so fix it
in the same way.
