I don't have a ton of before/after interrupts data, but I applied this
and booted on both db845c and HiKey960 and haven't seen any negative
effects so far.
HiKey960 only connects USB2 to the usb-c gadget port so I can't really
test with a USB3 host.
On db845c, I'm also only seeing high-speed connections but I'm not
sure if that's because the usb3 labeled port on my build server isn't
really usb3, or if its due to something else being off (I did double
check I've got a proper usb3 A/C cable, as a number of my cables are
usb2 A/C).
But I've pushed and pulled a few files, run logcat for awhile and
unplugged and re-pluggeded the cable a few times on both devices and
it seems ok to me.
So for what it's worth:
