Upstream commit 98d74f9ceaef ("xhci: fix 10 second timeout on removal of PCI hotpluggable xhci controllers") fixes a problem with hot pluggable PCI xhci controllers which can result in excessive timeouts, to the point where the system reports a deadlock. The same problem is seen with hot pluggable xhci controllers using the xhci-plat driver, such as the driver used for Type-C ports on rk3399. Similar to hot-pluggable PCI controllers, the driver for this chip removes the xhci controller from the system when the Type-C cable is disconnected. The solution for PCI devices works just as well for non-PCI devices and avoids the problem.
