Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] xhci: EHCI/XHCI ports switching on Intense-PC.

Hi Denis,

I found a couple issues with your second patch.  There are non-PCI xHCI
host controllers, so we can't assume the xHCI host is a PCI host.  So
this code can't run in the generic xHCI shutdown method:

>  	spin_unlock_irq(&xhci->lock);

I think the to_pci_dev call will oops if this isn't a PCI host.  Plus,
I've found out from the BIOS and chipset folks that this quirk needs to
be more broadly applied.  I'll send you a revised patch.  Can you test
it and make sure it works for you?
