Adding more people who were involved in the original patch.

Users are now seeing the unresponsive USB2 ports with Promontory hosts.
Is there any update on a better way to solve the original issue.

To me a "dead" USB2 port seems like a much worse issue for a user
than a BIOS disabled port waking up on plug/unplug (wake on
connect/disconnect),
so I'm myself in favor of doing this revert.

At least I can't find "Disable USB2" on my ASUS PRIME B350M-A, so the
new behavior is quite surprising.


But there was a strong push from Promontory developers to get the original
fix in,
and I would like to get some comment from them before I do anything about
it.

You looped them to the mail thread which I reported the regression two
weeks ago, and there is no response since then...

Still no response from AMD and ASMedia guys.

I don't like to use out-of-tree patches for myself, but probably it's
the only way here?

I'll revert it and send it forward now since rc1 is out
