Yes, it does!!  I verified that I'm able to reproduce the issue in less than
10 seconds with this commit which is the HEAD~1 of your series:

a7d053d207121 xhci: handle halting transfer event properly after endpoint stop and halt raced.

With this commit (the final commit in your series, adding a single patch): 

96887d191a88c xhci: make sure TRB is fully written before giving it to the controller

I ran cleanly for over 20 minutes and haven't been able to reproduce the
issue.  It looks like the wmb() added in that patch makes all the difference!

Thank you for the fix, and you can add this tag to the series:
