Set CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT to 21.

Yep, I thought so. I did glean one bit of information from the logs: it
seems that your host does handle no-op TRBs, at least for a while.
However, after a bigger chunk of TRBs, it goes off into la-la-land.
Assuming one of the rings is comprised of two segments:
0xbb711000 (start)
0xbb7113f0 (end)
0xbb711400 (start)
0xbb7117f0 (end)
The log show no-ops were inserted at:
0xbb7207d0
0xbb7206a0
0xbb720be0
0xbb720be0
0xbb720bd0
0xbb7207e0
0xbb711370 = 8 no-ops
0xbb7117c0 = 3
0xbb7113b0 = 4
0xbb7113a0 = 5
0xbb7117d0 = 2
0xbb711340 = 11
0xbb711770 = 8
0xbb711230 = 28
0xbb7117e0 = 1
0xbb7117b0 = 4
0xbb7113d0 = 2
0xbb7117b0 = 4
0xbb711340 = 11
0xbb711690 = 22
So the host was able to process 28 no-op TRBs, but failed on 22 no-ops
later. The event ring debugging shows the last event was for
0xbb711680, which is the last TRB before the first no-op inserted before
the host died. There's no Stop Endpoint Command completion, and it
looks like the command was correctly put on the command ring, so it
seems the host is actually hanging for some reason.
Unfortunately, I made a mistake in the debugging patch I sent
you, so it didn't print out the endpoint rings when the host died. I
need that info, to see whether the link TRB was still intact, or if we
over-wrote it and caused the host to go fetch some invalid memory.
Can you please try the attached patch, on top of the previous three
patches, and send me dmesg?

Interesting. Without a USB analyzer, we can't really tell what's
happening. However, one hypothesis could be that the blinking light is
triggered by an active SCSI command (read/write, etc).
There are three phases of the command: setup, data, and status. I think
your device is getting the setup phase, and the host is dying before it
sends the data phase. If the light blinks when it gets a setup phase,
and turns off when the devices sends a status phase, that would explain
its behavior.
But that's just a hypothesis, I have no idea whether it's correct.
