(I guess you also should clear the int_in_running flag, although the 
callback routine doesn't do that in the case of -ENOENT, -ECONNRESET, 
or -ESHUTDOWN.)

Poisoning the URB should work -- if you do it in the right place.  The
probe routine might not be good enough; an unrecognized error can occur
after the probe has succeeded.

Did you modify si470x_int_in_callback()?  That's where the tight loop
is.
