xHCI spec has a 16ms limit stated in several places, for example section 5.4.1
"xHC is forced to halt within 16 ms. of software clearing the R/S bit to ‘0’,
irrespective of any queued Transfer or Command Ring activity"

To make sure hosts work we could increase it to 32, but comment could be
changed to make sure it doean't get optimized back to 16 ms later.

How about:
/* HC should halt within 16 ms, but use 32 ms as some in reality take longer */

If that's ok I can take this and modify the comment
