Actually, the issue what I encountered is not from dwc3 controller. :)
It is r8152 Realtek USB3 ethernet adapter with on xHC port. The
network always dropped on 3.14 kernel, but not encountered at latest
kernel.  HW did a hardware fix to downgrade to high speed mode, the
issue is gone. So I try to use the driver trick to downgrade r8152
adapter.
