I check the Linux driver and the xHCI spec.
The driver gets -EPROTO for bulk transfer, when the host
returns COMP_USB_TRANSACTION_ERROR.
According to the spec of xHCI, USB TRANSACTION ERROR
means the host did not receive a valid response from the
device (Timeout, CRC, Bad PID, unexpected NYET, etc.).
It seems to be reasonable why resubmission sometimes works.
