No, HLC = 0 means the host doesn't support Hardware LPM.
The problem here is the host support Hardware LPM but there is a bug
in host controller that make the LPM fail to work.

When debugging the host controller, we detect there are some holes in
the current usb specifications which can can result in inter-operating
problems between USB Host Controller and USB PHY. To be more specific,
the specs have not clarified the resume recovery timing after the port
has just waken up from L1. This can lead to different interpretations
of the specs by Host Controller and PHY. What happened in our case is
that a Host controller cannot work with a PHY right after resuming
from L1 because these two Vendors have different views of the specs
regarding LPM timing after L1. These views are contradictory and
cannot work together.

If Host Controller and PHY are from the same vendor, they might have
some "internal handshake mechanisms" to avoid these holes of the USB
specs. However, these mechanisms are not standardized in USB specs;
and not all vendors follow these mechanisms. In fact, we have observed
this kind of "internal handshake mechanism" in HOST Controller and PHY
from SYNOPSYS DWC. So, we can say that if users use Host Controller
and PHY from different Vendors, the inteopering problems after waking
up from L1 are more likely to occur.

This does not work. When the issue happens, the USB device is fail to
probe so no /sys interface created. Messages displayed when issue
happen is similar to:

[ 2846.677903] usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci-hcd
[ 2882.037125] usb usb1-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?
or
usb usb3-port1: disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...
[   57.840237] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, device number 5
