That is not correct
Specs say that soft retry should not be used if we are dealing with a
FS/LS device behind a HS hub, this can be checked from the "TT Hub Slot ID"
field in the slot context, which we do.
In xhci all devices have a slot id, so this change would prevent
soft retry almost completely.
Specs 4.6.8.1:
"Soft Retry attempts shall not be performed if the device is behind a
TT in a HS Hub (i.e. TT Hub Slot ID > ‘0’)."
