I can not reproduce this on my system (I'm using 4.14.0-rc6, but I don't
think it's an issue). I think the problem may be caused by usb
host controler driver, which can be different on your system.

Does ftrace work on your platform ? If so could you use ftrace
to provide rt2x00 functions trace when the probllem happen ?

3 short articles how to configure and use ftrace are here:
