Is this the same bug as the one addressed by commit c2fb8a3fa255 (USB: 
add NO_D3_DURING_SLEEP flag and revert 151b61284776be2)?

That bug seemed to occur only when the affected systems were put into 
S3 sleep while an EHCI controller was in power level D3.

You don't mean "EHCI command register"; you mean "the EHCI controller's 
PCI COMMAND register".  The EHCI command register is a completely 
different register; it's part of the memory-mapped interface rather 
than the PCI config space.

How do you know this?

Why should disabling an already-disabled USB controller cause the
system to hang?

Is there any reason not to clear the PCI COMMAND register of every PCI 
USB host controller when entering S3?

This really has nothing to do with USB, except the fact that the 
affected parts are USB host controllers.  It's entirely a PCI issue.

Why does the system hang?  There should be no problem clearing the PCI 
COMMAND register even while the controller is in D3.

Does the BIOS try to access the memory-mapped registers while disabling 
the controller?

Why not do this for all EHCI controllers?  Or even all PCI devices?
