Some USB 3.0 devices signal that they don't implement Link PM by having
all zeroes in the U1/U2 exit latencies in their SuperSpeed BOS
descriptor. Don found that a Western Digital device he has experiences
transfer errors when LPM is enabled. The lsusb shows the U1/U2 exit
latencies are set to zero:
Binary Object Store Descriptor:
bLength 5
bDescriptorType 15
wTotalLength 22
bNumDeviceCaps 2
SuperSpeed USB Device Capability:
bLength 10
bDescriptorType 16
bDevCapabilityType 3
bmAttributes 0x00
Latency Tolerance Messages (LTM) Supported
wSpeedsSupported 0x000e
Device can operate at Full Speed (12Mbps)
Device can operate at High Speed (480Mbps)
Device can operate at SuperSpeed (5Gbps)
bFunctionalitySupport 1
Lowest fully-functional device speed is Full Speed (12Mbps)
bU1DevExitLat 0 micro seconds
bU2DevExitLat 0 micro seconds
The fix is to not enable LPM for a particular link state if we find its
corresponding exit latency is zero.
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.5, that contain
the commit 1ea7e0e8e3d0f50901d335ea4178ab2aa8c88201 "USB: Add support to
enable/disable USB3 link states."
