This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: hub: Allow reset retry for USB2 devices on connect bounce
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.

Subject: usb: hub: Allow reset retry for USB2 devices on connect bounce
If the connect status change is set during reset signaling, but
the status remains connected just retry port reset.
This solves an issue with connecting a 90W HP Thunderbolt 3 dock
with a Lenovo Carbon x1 (5th generation) which causes a 30min loop
of a high speed device being re-discovererd before usb ports starts
working.
[...]
[ 389.023845] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 55 using xhci_hcd
[ 389.491841] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 56 using xhci_hcd
[ 389.959928] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 57 using xhci_hcd
[...]
This is caused by a high speed device that doesn't successfully go to the
enabled state after the second port reset. Instead the connection bounces
(connected, with connect status change), bailing out completely from
enumeration just to restart from scratch.
