This problem does not seem specific to xhci, uhci seems also effected. Today I 
upgraded a system (running Arch Linux) from kernel 3.9.9 to 3.10.5. After a 
reboot to 3.10.5, things broke. The setup:

- There are two USB receivers plugged into USB 1.1 ports (different buses 
according to lsusb, uhci), each receiver is paired to a K360 keyboard.
- One of the receivers are passed to a QEMU guest with -usbdevice host:$busid.
$devid. This keyboard is working (probably because QEMU performed a reset).
- Since 3.10.5, the keyboard that is *not* passed to the QEMU guest is not 
functioning on reboot.

After closing the QEMU guest, the USB bus gets reset(?) after which the other 
keyboard suddenly gets detected. I had only booted 3.10.5 twice before rolling 
back to 3.9.9, both boots triggered the issue. Do I need to provide a usbmon, 
lsusb, dmesg and/ or other details from 3.10.5?


Note that there are other Arch Linux users who have reported issues[1][2] 
since upgrading to 3.10.z. Triggering a re-enumeration by writing the magic 
HID++ message[3] makes the paired devices appear again (as reported in 
forums[1], I haven't tried this on the affected UHCI machine).

While the underlying bug is fixed, can this patch be forwarded to stable? I see 
that 3.10.6 has been released, but still without this patch.

Regards,
Peter
