Can you reproduce this on other computers or with other USB devices?
(I just tested a few random audio dongles on my PC, nothing happens).

Is there any kernel version known to be free of this problem?

This looks like the xHCI driver freed data structures related to a USB
transfer concurrently with the hardware executing this transfer. It's
a bad thing which should never happen, but sometimes it does because of
bugs in USB controllers or the driver.

Can you run patched kernels on the affected laptop? I attach a patch
I used to track down similar issues on UVC webcams. It doesn't fix
anything, but adds some dmesg noise which may be helpful in figuring
out what goes wrong. The patch should work on v6.9-rc1 or -rc2.

Regards,
Michal
