Is there any reason for carl9170_usb_probe to do a reset? I can't imagine why that would be needed. Maybe the simplest solution is just to remove the reset. Unfortunately, that won't tell us where the extra reference is coming from. Here's one thing you could do if you want to continue your debugging: At the start of the probe routines for carl9170, usbtest, and spca501, add code to print in the kernel log the reference count value for the usb_device and usb_interface. Maybe you'll be able to see where the refcount goes up. Alan Stern
