The USB HID driver fails to reset its error-retry timeout when there has been a long time interval between I/O errors with no successful URB completions in the meantime. As a result, the very next error would trigger an immediate reset, even if it was a chance event occurring long after the previous error.
This patch (as873) fixes that oversight.
