Is the kernel the only thing that is different?  The rest of the 
operating system and environment is exactly the same?

Yes, this is because that type of device already has a quirk entry built 
into the kernel.  You can find it by searching for "174c" in the kernel 
source file drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h.

You can try building a 5.11 kernel with the patch below.  I don't know 
whether it will show anything in the dmesg log when one of these resets 
occurs, but it might.

If that doesn't work out, another possibility is to use git bisect to 
find the commit between 5.10 and 5.11 which caused the problem to start.
