[PATCH 0/1] Fixes to the USB 3.0 detection as 2.0 on AMD platform

[Gavin Guo]

Hi Sarah and Mathias,

As the discussion in http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/107011, 
I found that [AMD] FCH USB XHCI Controller [1022:7814] the USB 3.0 disk 
can't work in SuperSpeed after several times of hotplug. After doing some 
experiments and bisection, I found the bug is caused by 
41e7e056cdc662f704fa9262e5c6e213b4ab45dd (USB: Allow USB 3.0 ports to be 
disabled.). And the bug can be fixed by not executing the 
hub_usb3_port_disable() function. I also found that the port status is 
already in RxDetect before setting the port to Disabled in 
hub_usb3_port_disable() function. So, there are 2 ways to fix the bug:

1) Check if the Vendor/Device id is [1022:7814] at the beginning of 
hub_usb3_port_disable() function. If yes, return without executing the 
remaining code.

2) Check if the port status is already in RxDetect, if yes, return without 
executing the remaining code.

The second method seems more reasonable, so the patch is the implementation
of the second one. But it will affect more platforms and I don't know if 
there'll be any negative result. Otherwise, if the first one is correct, 
I can reimplement a new one.

I'm appreciated if you can give me some advice, or if there is any thing I missed.

Thanks,
Gavin
