Is there a > scenario where vhci_hcd will receive these values from userspace? I'm not sure if these changes are necessary for vhci_hcd. I'd sent this patch following the motivation of a patch (c318840fb2) from dummy_hcd to handle some cases. Yeah, there is scenario where vhci_hcd will receive these values from userspace. For example, typReq = SetPortFeature and wValue = USB_PORT_FEAT_C_CONNECTION can be received from userspace. As USB_PORT_FEAT_C_CONNECTION case isn't being handled, default case will is executed for it. So I'm assuming USB_PORT_FEAT_C_CONNECTION isn't supported and default case shouldn't be executed.
> Is there a way to reproduce the problem? I'm not able to reproduce any problem. But typReq = SetPortFeature and wValue = USB_PORT_FEAT_C_CONNECTION may trigger some behavior which isn't intended as USB_PORT_FEAT_C_CONNECTION may not be supported for vhci_hcd.

There is one line wrong in this patch. If we decide to proceed, I'll send a v2. Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks, Usama
