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".
