Ok then. At least devices could be start/stopped, and frankly if someone loads the bus with two high-bandwidth isoc streams, there is no reason to expect any bulk transfer to happen at all. > > > > @@ -571,6 +579,14 @@ static int ehci_init(struct usb_hcd *hcd) > > > > hcc_params = ehci_readl(ehci, &ehci->caps->hcc_params); > > > > > > > > /* > > > > + * tell user, if using non-standard (80% == 100 usec/uframe) bandwidth > > > > + */ > > > > + if (uframe_periodic_max != 100) > > > > + ehci_info(ehci, "using non-standard max periodic bandwith " > > > > + "(%u%% == %u usec/uframe)", > > > > + 100*uframe_periodic_max/125, uframe_periodic_max); > > > > + > > > > + /* > > > > > > Check for invalid values.

I though it would be good for generality -- i.e. if someone wants to limit maximum isoc bandwidth to say 50% so that would never be overallocated by that limit that would be handy. But I agree - it's a bit artificial, so in updated patch I've left what you originally suggested to be 100 <= uframe_periodic_max < 125 (ommitting =125).
