Does the device eventually re-connect on the USB port?  Or is warm reset
necessary to make the device connect?

Does the xHCI register restore complete after resume from S3, or is
power lost?  I'm trying to figure out whether xhci_reset is called
before your issue is triggered.

Is this issue specific to the particular USB device manufacturer
(Transcend)?  Does the same device lose connection on resume from S3
with other host controller vendors?  Have you seen this issue when the
USB 3.0 device is behind a USB 3.0 hub?

I ask because this sounds like a low-level link training issue that's
specific to the exynos host or USB device.  I would rather track down
which hardware is to blame than generically add a warm reset for all USB
3.0 devices.

Agreed.  Can we at least limit the warm reset to devices directly
attached to roothubs?  You can also change this code to get the port
status and only do the warm reset if the port link state is
USB_SS_PORT_LS_POLLING, USB_SS_PORT_LS_RX_DETECT, or
USB_SS_PORT_LS_SS_INACTIVE.
