The xHCI spec requires that when the xHCI host is reset, a USB reset is
driven down the USB 3.0 ports. If hot reset fails, the port may migrate
to warm reset. See table 32 in the xHCI spec, in the definition of
HCRST. It sounds like this host doesn't drive a USB reset down USB 3.0
ports at all on host controller reset?
