This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: xhci: fix return value of xhci_setup_device() to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 90797aee5d6902b49a453c97d83c326408aeb5a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2017 18:28:44 +0200 Subject: usb: xhci: fix return value of xhci_setup_device() xhci_setup_device() should return failure with correct error number when xhci host has died, removed or halted. During usb device enumeration, if usb host is not accessible (died, removed or halted), the hc_driver->address_device() should return a corresponding error code to usb core. But current xhci driver just returns success. This misleads usb core to continue the enumeration by reading the device descriptor, which will result in failure, and users will get a misleading message like "device descriptor read/8, error -110".
