Alan Stern 6402c796d3 USB: EHCI: work around silicon bug in Intel's EHCI controllers
This patch (as1660) works around a hardware problem present in some
(if not all) Intel EHCI controllers.  After a QH has been unlinked
from the async schedule and the corresponding IAA interrupt has
occurred, the controller is not supposed access the QH and its qTDs.
There certainly shouldn't be any more DMA writes to those structures.
Nevertheless, Intel's controllers have been observed to perform a
final writeback to the QH's overlay region and to the most recent qTD.
For more information and a test program to determine whether this
problem is present in a particular controller, see

This patch works around the problem by always waiting for two IAA
cycles when unlinking an async QH.  The extra IAA delay gives the
controller time to perform its final writeback.

Surprisingly enough, the effects of this silicon bug have gone
undetected until quite recently.  More through luck than anything
else, it hasn't caused any apparent problems.  However, it does
interact badly with the path that follows this one, so it needs to be
addressed.

This is the first part of a fix for the regression reported at:

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
