I agree, this would be an option. But I dislike the fact that then
- beside the USB firmware - there is a second instance which decides on
the bus state. I'll send a reworked patch which makes use of
can_change_state(). Hopefully that will address your concerns ;) 
This also will fix the imperfection, that our current code e.g. does
an error_warning++ when going back in direction of ERROR_ACTIVE ...
