I seem to recall recent patches for the core USB drivers in edk2 that
modified various timeouts and transfer block sizes. For example:

  [edk2] [MdeModulePkg/Usb v2 0/1] Calculating the count of blocks to
                                   transfer

Committed at
<https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/824b6e3b5fa080df36626db3eb8465c25a12c053>.

Can you try a fresh edk2 build, and/or state git commit hashes at which
the tree does or does not work for you?

It would also be interesting to know the exact USB device (vendor, model
etc) that produces this issue for you. Chances are the edk2 USB drivers
would have the same issue if they encountered your device on the bare
metal (i.e. with edk2 running as physical platform firmware).

Thanks!
