The trace confirms this, we get double completion events for several Isoc TRBs.
These double completions are seen after a transaction error on the same device (different endpoint).

Transfer events for TRB ..a1c0 twice, with a transaction error in between:
 <idle>-0       [000] d.h2. 33819.709897: xhci_handle_event: EVENT: TRB 000000032959a1c0 status 'Success' len 0 slot 6 ep 2 type 'Transfer Event' flags e:c

Transfer events for TRB ..a1d0 twice (the next TRB)

Transfer events for TRB ..a1e0 twice
 systemd-journal-395     [000] d.H1. 33819.712139: xhci_handle_event: EVENT: TRB 000000032959a1e0 status 'Success' len 0 slot 6 ep 2 type 'Transfer Event' flags e:c

etc..

Driver can cope with these extra events, but if this is common we should
probably handle it silently and not concern users with that ERROR message.

We are actually at the moment looking at improving handle_tx_event() with
Niklas (cc), and will take this into consideration.
