Additional testing of the changes introduced in commit 33e06dcbe5 "common:
usb-hub: Reset hub port before scanning") revealed that some USB 2.0 and 3.0
flash drives didn't work in U-Boot on some Allwinner SoCs that support USB
2.0 interfaces only. More precisely, some of the tested USB 2.0 and 3.0
flash drives failed to be detected and work on an OrangePi Zero 3, based on
the Allwinner H616 SoC that supports USB 2.0 only, while the same USB flash
drives worked just fine on a Pine64 H64, based on the Allwinner H6 SoC that
supports both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 interfaces.
The USB ID of the above-mentioned USB 3.0 flash drive that failed to work is
1f75:0917 (Innostor Technology Corporation IS917 Mass storage), it is 32 GB
in size and sold under the PNY brand. The mentioned USB 2.0 drive is some
inexpensive no-name drive with an invalid USB ID.
Resetting USB 3.0 hubs only, which this patch introduces to the USB hub
resets, has been tested to work as expected, resolving the identified issues
on the Allwinner H616, while not introducing any new issues on other tested
Allwinner SoCs. Thus, let's fix it that way.
According to the USB 3.0 specification, resetting a USB 3.0 port is required
when an attached USB device transitions between different states, such as
when it resumes from suspend. Though, the Linux kernel performs additional
USB 3.0 port resets upon initial USB device attachment, as visible in commit
07194ab7be63 ("USB: Reset USB 3.0 devices on (re)discovery") in the kernel
source, to ensure proper state of the USB 3.0 hub port and proper USB mode
negotiation during the initial USB device attachment and enumeration.
These additional types of USB port resets don't exist for USB 2.0 hubs,
according the USB 2.0 specification. The resets seem to be added to the USB
3.0 specification as part of the port and device mode negotiation.
The Linux kernel resets USB 3.0 (i.e. SuperSpeed) hubs only, as visible in
commit 10d674a82e55 ("USB: When hot reset for USB3 fails, try warm reset.")
in the kernel source. The check for SuperSpeed hubs is performed in a way
that also applies to newer SuperSpeed Plus (USB 3.1 or 3.2) hubs as well,
which hopefully makes it future proof.
