You are right, I digged in the code and saw some comments that on some
architectures, usb_free_coherent() cannot be called in hard IRQ context.
I see the usb_free_coherent() is called in write_bulk_callback too. I will
send a patch that uses usb_anchor to keep track of these urbs and cleanup 
the transfer buffer later in disconnect().

Thank you for your review,
