In xhci_hub_control(), there are many port register readbacks in several branches of the *switch* statement which get duplicated right after that *switch* by reading back the port register once more -- which is done to flush the posted writes. Remove the redundant reads inside that *switch*. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static analysis tool.
