Agreed about the "correct" fix likely being on the USB side, but at
least using printk_ratelimited() will avoid the log spamming, and
avoid locking the machine, as you said.

Will someone else take that approach and come up with a patch, or is
this something I should try to take on myself? I could certainly test
such a patch, if desired.

Meanwhile, I'll look into reporting the USB bug, if it hasn't already been.
