Ok, maybe RUDDER and MISC?
The driver is actually for an "adapter" [1] that you connect your RC to.
The RC is then mapping its sticks/buttons to different channels. Unlike other
joysticks, this mapping is not fixed but something you setup in your RC.

For example, I'm using a Turnigy 9xr[2].

The RC is typically used with a RC Flight Simulator software (I'm using
Heli-X [3] when testing) which also map the channels to events (throttle,
rudder and so on).

Ok, I drop the refcounting. pxrc_delete() did more before I changed most
allocations to devm_*.
I tried to get the refcounting similiar to /drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c.

I have tried different approaches with the create/delete URBs.
At first I had the URB in the usb_pxrc struct that I allocated in the
probe function where I also submitted the URB.

This worked but I found it waste to submit URBs when noone has opened the
device, so I moved the submitting to pxrc_open().
The problem was that the same URB was submitted multiple times (gives a
warning) upon multiple calls to open(2).

So I removed the URB from usb_pxrc and used an anchor to still have a
reference to it for deletion. This part is heavily inspired by
drivers/bluetooth/bpa10x.c.
Maybe I should do it differently?

I must admit that I'm not very familiar with USB drivers.

Will do, thanks.
