Out of curiosity, have you tried if it still is possible to revive your
xHC controller here?

Instead of returning -ETIMEDOUT, try setting " reinit_xhc = true", and
jump to  "if (reinit_xhc) {"  where we reinitialize xHC in xhci_resume() due
to other resume issues.

Nice catch and debugging work btw.

The XHCI_STATE_DYING flag is currently only set in xhci_hc_died().
So when this flag is set we could assume that the command ring and
pending URBs are, or will be cleaned up. This would change with your patch.
  
We might need some other solution,
Maybe set the set_bit(HCD_FLAG_HW_ACCESSIBLE, &hcd->flags) after
CNR (Contorller Not Ready) is successfully cleared, and controller is
actually accessible.

We then would need to add checks to see if controller is accessible
before queuing any commands to xHC hardware.
