Why do you think this is needed?  Are you experiencing these 
sorts of URB submission errors?

Why do you handle only errors during submission but not during
completion?  And if you keep on getting errors during submission, why
would resetting the hub make any difference?

The patch doesn't delete the io_retry timer when the hub is removed.
