Subject: [ 022/147] xhci: Warn when hosts dont halt.

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@...ux.intel.com>

commit 5af98bb06dee79d28c805f9fd0805ce791121784 upstream.

Eric Fu reports a problem with his VIA host controller fetching a zeroed
event ring pointer on resume from suspend.  The host should have been
halted, but we can't be sure because that code ignores the return value
from xhci_halt().  Print a warning when the host controller refuses to
halt within XHCI_MAX_HALT_USEC (currently 16 seconds).

(Update: it turns out that the VIA host controller is reporting a halted
state when it fetches the zeroed event ring pointer.  However, we still
need this warning for other host controllers.)
