Any suggestions are appreciated, Thanks. Your recovery process should not need to make all these changes to ehci-hcd. Simply carry out the same actions as the "dead:" statement label in ehci_irq() -- that is, do the same thing as if an interrupt occurred with the STS_FATAL bit set. That code is all properly synchronized. Then unbind the driver from the controller and rebind it. Rebinding will reset the controller.
