This is specifically the EHCI controller on rk3288. Not sure why Wu
Liang feng removed that part of the description.

I'm told by Julius (CCed, who knows the USB stack infinitely better
than I do) that you can work around this using "persist". I would
imagine that anyone on a machine using hibernation would run into the
same problem, right?

We asked a lot about this and you can find a whole set of detailed
discussion at:

https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/232077/1/drivers/usb/host/ehci-platform.c


Since I don't know the USB subsystem particularly well, my review
isn't terribly meaningful, but just in case:

On rk3288-pinky I have tested that without this patch the EHCI
controller flips out when a USB webcam is plugged into the port and is
power cycled across suspend/resume. With this patch the controller
properly unplugs / replugs the webcam.
