ACK. This dev_kfree_skb() should be deleted:

| 	err = usb_submit_urb(urb, GFP_ATOMIC);
| 	if (unlikely(err)) {
| 		can_free_echo_skb(netdev, context->echo_index, NULL);
| 
| 		usb_unanchor_urb(urb);
| 		usb_free_coherent(dev->udev, size, buf, urb->transfer_dma);
| 		dev_kfree_skb(skb);

Can you create a patch?

regards,
Marc
