You are unfortunately right. This means that the driver currently is already
buggy.

The current driver kills the ctrl URB in cease_io() which is not enough
to prevent new IO.

It breaks nothing. It just continues a bug and I assumed it was not present.
Basically the work queue must do nothing after pre_reset() and post_reset()
ought to rerun the work in case some request came down during that time.
