Hi,

Does it still happen in current Linus tree aka upcoming v7.3-rc1?

Similar problem, limited to the specific case of disconnection from the
root hub, was found on Renesas PCIe controllers (it looked like some
internal power management interfering with operation). It seems to be
solved by avoiding Soft Retry on known-disconnected root hub ports.
