I thought you had already merged the changes, but i see you only took the
first hunk. There's no point in splitting the commit, as the intermediate
result wouldn't work. You can add my s-o-b, if you feel that's necessary.
This last version seems fine, just one thing: I can't convince myself
that not queuing the work after an urb fails with urb->status==true is
safe -- what if some temporary error condition causes the rx queue to
drain? Nothing will resubmit the urbs. 
Wouldn't a usb_poison_anchored_urbs() instead of usb_kill_anchored_urbs()
in p54u_free_urbs() prevent p54u_rx_refill from resubmitting, and that early
return in the completion could then go? Or did i miss a case where it's
needed, other than stop()?
