I think that our USB guru is on vacation, so it might take a couple
of weeks to fix that.

From a cursory look, it looks like the device probes correctly,
then dissappears and the detaching/closing code has a problem
because the pipe passed is null.  If you compile the kernel with
DIAGNOSTIC, the panic should go away. If you want to help us track
down the problem, compile in your kernel with options DDB, and
options USB_DEBUG, boot with -d, then in ddb set the variables
uhcidebug and ohcidebug to 1, then continue, and report the messages
printed.

We are fixing them as we find them. If you send PR's for them
together with the errors we can probably fix them faster because
some of us don't have the disk space to compile everything.

Thanks for using NetBSD...
