Never seen XHCI auto handoff working on TI and RENESAS cards.
Eventually, we force handoff. This code forces the handoff
unconditionally. It saves 5 seconds boot time for each card.

Do the Renesas and TI controllers still advertise the extended capability
for the handoff? (XHCI_EXT_CAPS_LEGACY)
I don't see this capability. Here is lspci output.


It's not a PCI capability, it's a xhci Extended Capability.

If the capability is supported, and handoff fail, then quirk_usb_handoff_xhci() will print
"xHCI BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug ?)"

Further on in the same function we wait for the "controller not ready" bit in the status
register to clear. If that times it prints out:

"xHCI HW not ready after 5 sec (HC bug?) status"

Do you see any of these two messages in the log?
