I have seen a similar issue intermitently on my imx6 based board.
I would also like to find a fix.

Specifically: unplugging usb storage occasionally causes an oops.

I'm guessing a race with use-after-free, but I haven't tracked it down.
In my environment it has been hard to reproduce, and I wasn't able to
grok anything useful in the trace.

Are you seeing this behavior consistently?

Perhaps the driver is freeing more than it should when a device is disconnected.
