It would be better to use this new api call instead of usb_control_msg(): https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200914153756.3412156-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org
How about porting this patch to run on top of that series instead? That should make this logic much simpler.

This should not be needed to be done.
