I've seen this happen with various custom mass-storage like appliances, but also DVB tuners and such. The device won't return to a working state until you unplug it and put it back, or, and that's what the patch does, just power-cycle the USB port, which has the same effect. >
We have seen this problem with Ethernet dongles left in a bad/hung state during a previous boot, so it definitely does happen. This happened, for example, with the r8152 driver with upstream commit 2f25abe6bac ("r8152: prevent the driver from transmitting packets with carrier off") missing.
Problem though, as mentioned, is that many hubs don't implement this feature, and if I understand correctly root hubs don't implement it either.
