Yes i think just adding the VDEV_ST_USED check in addition to the VDEV_ST_NOT_ASSIGNED state is fine and would fix the issue.
Can you please confirm if this works?
After many years of writing virtualhere (a similar system to usb/ip but cross-platform and different non-kernel way of doing it server side) I've seen many drivers that issue reset at any time. Loading firmware is usually the reason. Also sometimes switching configurations requires a reset also, for example some gaming wheels do this. I don't think you should make this VDEV_ST_USED check specific to Wifi devices, as a lot of devices don't follow too closely to the USB protocol to begin with from my experience. They primarily base their USB interactions assuming the windows platform and its quirks.
When sending responses to Linux kernel mailing lists, please use bottom post. This check will be used for all drivers. We don't add checks for specific cases in the code. thanks, -- Shuah
