It currently corrupts memory (use after free) during suspend, and I'm
trying to get that fixed. It is 90% reproducible.

And yes, fixing clean code is easier.

It could be easily fixed by just not freeing the urbs during
disconnect (introducing very very slow memory leak). Would that be
acceptable?
