3.2.93-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 93491ced3c87c94b12220dbac0527e1356702179 upstream. Add define for the maximum number of ports on a SuperSpeed hub as per USB 3.1 spec Table 10-5, and use it when verifying the retrieved hub descriptor. This specifically avoids benign attempts to update the DeviceRemovable mask for non-existing ports (should we get that far).
