Same erratic behaviour on 4.8.15 and 4.9.0. With the same symptom : when
the key is properly detected/taken into account, we have a

usbhid_restart_ctrl_queue:238: hid-generic 0003:2581:F1D0.0005: Kicking
head 1 tail 0

message in syslog. When it fails, this message does not appear.

Some quirks we noted with those two kernels :

- key detect sometimes takes 5 to 10 seconds after key insert into the
port. It does not seem to have any impact on whether the key will be
usable :

[4.8.15]
Jan  5 10:45:50 kernel: usb 3-2: new full-speed USB device number 33
using xhci_hcd
Jan  5 10:46:01 kernel: usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=2581,
idProduct=f1d0

[4.9.0]
Jan  5 11:01:32 kernel: usb 3-6: new full-speed USB device number 34
using xhci_hcd
Jan  5 11:01:37 kernel: usb 3-6: New USB device found, idVendor=2581,
idProduct=f1d0

- with 4.9.0 at least, when the key has failed on a port, it seems to be
*very difficult* to get it to be properly processed again on this port.
Only way we found (but it may be purely irrelevant to the real problem)
is to connect/disconnect some hub with several devices on it.

Those tests have been performed on the same computer. This evening (CET
timezone), we will test on two other computers.
