I think you want something similar to
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=807588ac92018bde88a1958f546438e840eb0158

We shouldn't have this error in the first place, so adding a timeout
will just add a band-aid on top of an other issue.

I really think the solution from Anisse would work in your case and
