xHC should clear the EDTLA field when processing a Set TR Dequeue Pointer command:

xhci spec v1.2, section 4.6.10 Set TR Dequeue Pointer:
"The xHC shall perform the following operations when setting a ring address:
  ...
Clear any prior transfer state, e.g. setting the EDTLA to 0, clearing any partially
completed USB2 split transactions, etc."

Looks like patch also writes edtl back to ctx->reserved[0], is there a reason for this?

Isn't edtl in reserved[0], not in reserved[1]?

Also unclear why we read it at all, it should be set to 0 by controller, right?

Aren't these fields RsvdO (Reserved and Opaque)?
Driver shouldn't normally touch these fields, they are used by xHC as temporary workspace.

why are we writing back edtl?, also note that it's read from ctx->reserved[1] above, and now
written to back to ctx->reserved[0].

I understood that issue was those RsvdO fields needs to be cleared manually for this host as
hardware fails to clear them during a "Set TR Dequeue Pointer" command.

Am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks
