[PATCH v2] xhci: pci: Disable soft retry for Renesas uPD720201

From: raoxu

From: Xu Rao <raoxu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The Renesas uPD720201 xHCI controller can fail to complete
a Stop Endpoint command after a transaction error on an interrupt
endpoint when soft retry is used.

This was reproduced with this setup:

xHCI: Renesas uPD720201, PCI ID 1912:0014 rev 03
dev: USB Ethernet device with an integrated Genesys Logic
USB3.1 hub, USB ID 05e3:0626, and a Realtek RTL8153
Ethernet function, USB ID 0bda:8153

Reproducer:

1. Plug the integrated USB hub and Ethernet device into the
1912:0014 xHCI controller.
2. Let r8152 bind to the 0bda:8153 RTL8153 Ethernet function
behind the integrated hub.
3. Bring the Ethernet device up.
4. Hot-unplug the device.

The host reports a transaction error on the RTL8153 interrupt
endpoint, queues a soft reset, and later times out the Stop
Endpoint command while disconnecting the device:

Transfer error for slot 8 ep 6 on endpoint
Soft-reset ep 6, slot 8
Ignoring reset ep completion code of 1
xHCI host not responding to stop endpoint command
xHCI host controller not responding, assume dead
HC died; cleaning up

The Renesas 1912:0014 controller cannot safely use the xHCI soft
retry path. Set XHCI_NO_SOFT_RETRY for this controller so
transaction errors use the pre-soft-retry recovery path. With
this quirk the same hot-unplug test no longer times out the Stop
Endpoint command and the RTL8153 remains usable and stable.
