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.
