So, it's more like, "we don't need to call dev_kfree_skb() after
can_put_echo_skb()
because can_put_echo_skb() consumes the given skb.".  It seems it doesn't depend
on the condition of usb_submit_urb().  Plus, we don't see the "cloned
skb" at the
call site.

Would you mind adding a comment on can_put_echo_skb(), in a separate patch,
saying the fact that it consumes the skb?

ems_usb.c, gs_usb.c and possibly some others seem to call
dev_kfree_skb() as well.
Are they affected?

Best,
