Subject: [PATCH 3.16 047/233] USB: hub: fix SS max number of ports

3.16.48-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 93491ced3c87c94b12220dbac0527e1356702179 upstream.

Add define for the maximum number of ports on a SuperSpeed hub as per
USB 3.1 spec Table 10-5, and use it when verifying the retrieved hub
descriptor.

This specifically avoids benign attempts to update the DeviceRemovable
mask for non-existing ports (should we get that far).
