Subject: [PATCH 3.16 128/204] usb: hub: Allow reset retry for USB2 devices
 on connect bounce

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

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

From: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@...ux.intel.com>

commit 1ac7db63333db1eeff901bfd6bbcd502b4634fa4 upstream.

If the connect status change is set during reset signaling, but
the status remains connected just retry port reset.

This solves an issue with connecting a 90W HP Thunderbolt 3 dock
with a Lenovo Carbon x1 (5th generation) which causes a 30min loop
of a high speed device being re-discovererd before usb ports starts
working.

[...]
[ 389.023845] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 55 using xhci_hcd
[ 389.491841] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 56 using xhci_hcd
[ 389.959928] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 57 using xhci_hcd
[...]

This is caused by a high speed device that doesn't successfully go to the
enabled state after the second port reset. Instead the connection bounces
(connected, with connect status change), bailing out completely from
enumeration just to restart from scratch.
