The ehci controller found in some Broadcom switches with integrated SoCs has an issue which causes a soft lockup with large transfers like you see when running ext4 on USB3 flash drive. Port the fix from the Broadcom XLDK to increase the OUT_THRESHOLD to avoid the problem. Signed-off-by: Chris Packham <chris.packham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I don't have much data on what this change does. I can say it is needed to avoid a soft lockup when using a USB3 Flash drive formatted has ext4 (USB2 + ext4 is OK, USB3 + fat is OK). I presume the affected combination ends up using larger transfers triggering the problem. The equivalent change in the Broadcom XLDK is if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_USB_EHCI_XGS_IPROC)) ehci_writel(ehci, BCM_USB_FIFO_THRESHOLD, &ehci->regs->reserved4[6]); This is problematic because it would unconditionally apply to all ehci controllers whenever CONFIG_USB_EHCI_XGS_IPROC is enabled (also reserved4 only goes to 6 so technically it's indexing off the end of the array). I wasn't sure if I should add a new property or somehow detect the affected host controller. I settled on using of_device_is_compatible() as that seemed the simplest thing to do.
