When this happens, the reset resume attempt fails, and the last resort to disable the port and see something comes up later, also fails. When the issue occurs, the link state stays in eSS.Disabled state despite the warm reset attempts. Accoding to spec this can be caused by invalid VBus, after some expiremets, the SMSC hub can be brought back after a powercycle.
Could you open up a bit more how this happens, mainly codepaths how the USB3 port ends up in eSS.Disabled state There might be something else wrong here. My impression is that port should only end up in eSS.Disabled when directed to with a Set_Port_Feature(PORT_LINK_STATE, eSS.Disabled) Request. After this we shouldn't attempt warm resets, they won't work for USB3 ports in ss.Disabled state. -Mathias
