(info added to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2019788 as well) Symptoms look similar to an old race issue where two usb devices were reset at the same time. xHC HW can't handle this, and to prevent it the hcd->address0_mutex was added. for details see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/8/312 -Mathias
