Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 017/126] xhci: Workaround to get Intel xHCI reset working more reliably

3.16.7-ckt22 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Rajmohan Mani <rajmohan.mani@...el.com>

commit a5964396190d0c40dd549c23848c282fffa5d1f2 upstream.

Existing Intel xHCI controllers require a delay of 1 mS,
after setting the CMD_RESET bit in command register, before
accessing any HC registers. This allows the HC to complete
the reset operation and be ready for HC register access.
Without this delay, the subsequent HC register access,
may result in a system hang, very rarely.

Verified CherryView / Braswell platforms go through over
5000 warm reboot cycles (which was not possible without
this patch), without any xHCI reset hang.
