Hi Chunfeng Yun,

many thanks for your efforts (testing and explaining the Mediatek SoC
implementatino) on the earlier versions of this series!

is there a chance you can test v6 of this series on the Mediatek SoCs
one more time?
in v5 the code was moved from xhci-plat.c to drivers/usb/core/hub.c
which should even enable it on non-xHCI controllers.
however, I cannot test suspend/resume support on my Meson GXL SoCs -
and in addition to that it would be awesome to have confirmation from
you that the latest version still works fine on the Mediatek SoCs

thank you in advance!
