Hi Alan,

I've tried running the reproducer with CONFIG_HZ=1000 and still got
the same stall message. It's accompanied by countless "yurex
6-1:0.101: yurex_interrupt - unknown status received: -71" messages,
so I believe this is an issue in the yurex driver.

Why does dumy_hcd require CONFIG_HZ=1000? The comment doesn't really
explain the reason.

Thanks!
