I suspect usbvision is full of races like that. It isn't using the proper
frameworks to take care of this. The problem is that it's old hardware and
nobody really cares about reworking the driver.
I'll take the patch, but if there is anyone interested in doing work on
this driver, then let me know. Otherwise I might just deprecate it.
