[PATCH v2 0/1][RESEND] Fixes to the USB 3.0 detection as 2.0 on AMD platform

From: Gavin Guo

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.

The v2 version has been tested on the 2 platforms which all use the same AMD
controller [1022:7814]. There are totally 3 ports. And each port has been
tested for 30 times of hot-plugging. All of the results showed the USB 3.0 pen
drive is Superspeed device.

Changes from v1 -> v2:
According to Alan's advice in: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/15/315
- Fixes the coding style.
- Modify the debug messages to "Not disabling port; link state is RxDetect"
to make it more expressive.

Mistakenly add Alan to the Signed-off-by list, it's not correct. Using
Acked-by instead. So, I resent the v2 patch again.
