It's definitely not just a timing issue for us. I can't reproduce all the same cases as Vikas, but when I attach a USB analyzer to the ones I do see the host controller doesn't even start sending a reset.

Oh, interesting, I hadn't seen that yet. So I guess the spec itself is fine if it were followed to the letter.
I did some more tests about this on my Exynos machine: when I put a device to autosuspend (U3) and manually poke the xHC reset bit, I do see an automatic warm reset on the analyzer and the ports manage to retrain to U0. But after a system suspend/resume which calls xhci_reset() in the process, there is no reset on the wire. I also noticed that it doesn't drive a reset (even after manual poking) when there is no device connected on the other end of the analyzer.
So this might be our problem: maybe these host controllers (Synopsys DesignWare) issue the spec-mandated warm reset only on ports where they think there is a device attached. But after a system suspend/resume (where the whole IP block on the SoC was powered down), the host controller cannot know that there is still a device with an active power session attached, and therefore doesn't drive the reset on its own.
Even though this is a host controller bug, we still have to deal with it somehow. I guess we could move the code into xhci_plat_resume() and hide it behind a quirk to lessen the impact. But since reset_resume is not a common case for most host controllers, it's hard to say if this is DesignWare specific or a more widespread implementation mistake.
