The laptop has TexasInstruments controller, which suffers the problem that once it is suspended (0b:00) it does not observe that a new device was plugged into the socket, so the end USB device gets no power and is dead. Manual wakeup using echo 'on' > /sys/.../*0b:00/control wakes up the upstream PCIe root port 1c.4 (at least with the patch) and the 0b:00 itself as intended by the echo command. That enables the TI controller realize e.g. a mouse is connected to the socket and picks it up. What is not clear to me why the xHCI socket is not dead upon bootup with no USB devices attached. That also yields the controller 0b:00 in suspended state but the very first plugin of the e.g. mouse is picked up and the mouse works. Upon unplug of the mouse something gets screwed. We thought that it is due to the upstream port being suspended but even with the patch preventing that (port_dbg.patch) the broken gets is entered: the 0b:00 falls asleep, its runtime_status files says 'suspended' a the socket is dead. You maybe remember that I started a year ago the threads with Express Card hotplug issues with another, USB3 NEC-based controller I have. To test better the patch from Ying Huang I also tried what happens to the NEC-based controller. It works. I did not provide you the logs although from the debug info Ying added it seems the code flow in a different way. I had XHCI_DEBUG enabled while no external USB devices attached and because I tested with a USB2 device (the mouse) the xhci_hcd did not flood the logs too much.
