Yes, this happens on all hosts (Windows, OSX, Linux on a range of
kernels), which leads me to believe it might be unrelated to the xhci
bug you recalled earlier.

Hmm, okay. Might it be possible to perform some sort of soft reset of
the dwc3, or possibly ask the host to reset the device?

We're looking for any way to possibly reset the connection from HS to SS
when we hit this race condition. We are also currently exploring ways of
switching the orientation of the SS mux more efficiently.

I spoke too soon. 5.0.5 (unpatched) shows significant improvement than 4.9.115 as it
takes about 15 minutes of data transfer before the link drops from SS to
HS. We will be sticking with the patch that you provided us earlier.
It's been working very well for us on 4.9.115.
