According to the USB 3.0 specification, section 9.4.5 ("Get Status"),

"Regardless of whether an endpoint has the Halt feature set, a 
ClearFeature(ENDPOINT_HALT) request always results in the data sequence being 
reinitialized to zero, and if Streams are enabled, the Stream State Machine 
shall be reinitialized to the Disabled state."

If Linux doesn't reset the sequence number when issuing a CLEAR_FEATURE(HALT), 
isn't it a Linux USB stack bug that should be fixed in the USB core ?
