Consider a case where host is trying to submit urbs to the connected device while holding the us->dev_mutex and due to some reason it is stuck while waiting for the completion of the urbs. Now the scsi error mechanism kicks in and it calls the device reset handler which is trying to acquire the same mutex causing a deadlock situation. Below is the call stack of the task which acquired the mutex (0xFFFFFFC660447460) and waiting for completion.
