I continue fixing this issue with hardware engineer, but currently just
host controller can crash whole system and that's why I want to fix it.
How about adding some error logs in this situation for recognizing this issue?
We can add error log in xhci_stop as xhci_reset can returns error like below.

static void xhci_stop(struct usb_hcd *hcd)
{
        u32 temp;
        struct xhci_hcd *xhci = hcd_to_xhci(hcd);
+       int ret;

        mutex_lock(&xhci->mutex);

@@ -733,6 +734,9 @@ static void xhci_stop(struct usb_hcd *hcd)
        xhci->cmd_ring_state = CMD_RING_STATE_STOPPED;
        xhci_halt(xhci);
        xhci_reset(xhci);
+       if (ret)
+               xhci_err(xhci, "%s: Error while reset xhci Host controller - ret = %d\n"
+                       , __func__, ret);
        spin_unlock_irq(&xhci->lock);
