I won't have time today to check, though my guess is that on each echo $usb-id > bind; echo $usb-id > unbind under /sys/bus/hid/drivers/hid-picolcd/ the USB urb queue fills a bit does not get cleared. Is usb_kill_urb() called when unbinding just the specific hid driver? If so my short timing between bind/unbind must be triggering something else... Otherwise I'm missing something as at first time I got no "output queue full" messages, but as I repeated the bind/unbind sequences the prints per bind/unbind iteration increased in number. Anyhow, on Friday evening/week-end I will continue digging and report back with my findings.
