It sounds like the URB gets cancelled but is never given back. But
although the commit you mentioned does affect this logic, I don't see
the problem could arise.

That's a bizarre message in any case. The condition under which it
gets printed is _not_ an error, just a race. I would expect it to show
up every now and then just based on random chance. But if it gets
printed over and over again then something is definitely wrong.

A few of those "unlink retry" messages during a test with 5000
iterations does not mean anything is wrong; don't worry about it.
It would be great if you could debug this farther. I'm not sure what
to suggest, however. Clearly we need to know what's going on in
ohci-q.c's finish_unlinks() routine; unfortunately this routine
probably gets called thousands of times before the problem shows up.
Anyway, here's a patch you can try out on the sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime.
I have no idea whether it will help pinpoint the source of the problem.
