I know cases where we have only single USB error and device work after
that. But if I remember correctly it was only for EPROTO not ETIMEDOUT.

Apparently we should not crash and that should be fixed, but without
logs there is nothing we can do.

Let try to attack problem from other side. RT5592 mises TSSI
calibration, so perhaps device overheat for you because of that.
Please apply attached patch which fixes txpower setting in mac80211
then set some low txpower value i.e:

iw dev wlan0 set txpower fixed 1500

and check if device still stop working with USB errors.
