Yes, this is the typical symptom

I think it would be worth to just merge this patch. I asked myself a few days
ago, but it seems to be a period where qemu moves quite fast (with the move
to git and all) and there is no time to review usb patches.
Perhaps we should have a usb-specific git tree so that we can test/fix all
usb-related patches that are in limbo right now and occasionally propose
merges.

There could be several reasons for that. Note that your device is also a bit
on the peculiar side, in that it actually has 3 interfaces (and thus 3 drivers).
It could be also a speed/stall problem but this is unlikely since max's work
has made the usb backend reasonably fast these days.
