Subject: Re: [PATCH] xhci: re-initialize the HC during resume if HCE was set

This commit is not used to fix a specific commit. We find a condition
that when XHCI runs the resume process but the HCE flag is set, then
the Run/Stop bit of USBCMD cannot be set so that HC would not be
enabled. In fact, HC may already meet a problem at this moment.
Besides, in xHCI requirements specification revision 1.2, Table 5-21
BIT(12) claims that Software should re-initialize the xHC when HCE is
set. Therefore, I think this commit could be the error handling for
HCE.

Thanks in advance.


Thanks in advance.
