The USB devs suggested that usb_device_reset() should be called by the driver in such cases, but in ath9k_htc's case, the device is disconnected and the error message "device firmware changed" is displayed. Agreed, this is a dirty hack - but is there any way for a driver to make the USB subsystem re-configure the endpoints ?
