Broadly speaking, this means the kernel is waiting for a completion 
interrupt which never arrives.  The interrupt would indicate that the 
controller hardware has finished accessing the data structures 
belonging to the URB being killed.

Since this driver seems to be based on work by Synopsys, maybe someone
from that company can help.

(By the way, the license information in the ifxhcd.h header file 
doesn't say anything about the GPL.  That doesn't seem kosher.)

So at time 100.332 the URB completes and the completion routine
resubmits it.  At time 101.436 the driver tries to kill the URB.  At
101.440 the URB completes (presumably with a status code indicating
that it was killed) and the completion routine resubmits it.  
Evidently the resubmission succeeds, because usb_hcd_submit_urb's
atomic_dec is not hit.

Resubmission of a killed URB is not supposed to succeed.  If it does, 
it means there's a bug in the HCD: It isn't calling 
usb_hcd_link_urb_to_ep() properly.

That's the problem with using out-of-tree drivers -- they don't track 
changes to the rest of the kernel.  :-(

> Is it legal for use_count to exceed 1 ?

Yes.

> What would it mean ?

It would mean that the completion routine has resubmitted the URB.  
use_count remains elevated until the completion routine returns, and 
the resubmission increments the counter again.

The problem is unlikely to be in the usb_wwan driver.

Maybe you can adapt an in-tree HCD to work with your host controller 
hardware.  The ifxhcd driver doesn't look so hot, at first glance.  
Maybe it can be fixed up...
