Hi Bean,

Thanks for your questions. With some memories we see issues establishing
the link during bootup, so that's the purpose of issuing this reset.

Unfortunately the downstream Qualcomm patch [1] (which I should have
remembered to attribute), does not mention why the reset during host
controller reset is needed - but I'm fairly certain that this scenario
would be similar to the handover from bootloader to kernel that we do
see an issue with.
