Hi Mathy,

What driver crash are you referring to? The log only shows the WARNING
ending in a USB disconnect but no actual crash. Does your patch get the
driver running properly or does it only avoid the warning.

With that said, it seems there is some need for improvement, but I also
notice you are running this on a virtual machine so could that affect
the timeout to kick in before completion. Could you try to increase the
timeout. Still when a timeout occurs this needs to be handled properly.
Could you also try the following patch?

Regards,
Arend
