Ok, there was already a patch posted by you for this[1], which had quite a much discussion on it. Would you like to give some pointers based on that ? One that Olof had suggested was to use gpio-reset driver which is yet to make to mainline. But i think with that too we need to take care of the timing for resetting the hub before PHY gets reset. > > This will not be an issue for the Snow and Peach_Pi(t) boards (since > neither of them shipped with firmware that supports this hub), but it > will be an issue for Spring and Skate.

Thanks for raising the concern, this needs to be addressed.
