SubjectRe: [PATCH] Intel xhci: Only switch the switchable ports

Why would the BIOS expect some ports to not be switchable? I know that
we internally at Intel had discussed some theoretical reasons why it
might not be good to switch some ports, but when I presented the
original patch with this same code in it to Linux USB mailing list, both
Alan and Greg said, "Why not unconditionally switch ports?" I had no
good examples at the time.

Is this causing issues with some particular BIOS?

Your code is correct, but your comment is wrong. XUSB2PRM is the USB
2.0 ports that should be controlled by the xHCI host.

Again, this should be "Configurable USB 2.0 ports to hand over to xHCI:"
Also, don't split strings, it makes it hard to grep for them later.
