This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xhci: Enable LPM support only for hardwired or BESL devices to the 3.12-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: xhci-enable-lpm-support-only-for-hardwired-or-besl-devices.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 890dae88672175f1d39f6105444d9bdc71c89258 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:26:31 +0300 Subject: xhci: Enable LPM support only for hardwired or BESL devices From: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 890dae88672175f1d39f6105444d9bdc71c89258 upstream. Some usb3 devices falsely claim they support usb2 hardware Link PM when connected to a usb2 port. We only trust hardwired devices or devices with the later BESL LPM support to be LPM enabled as default. [Note: Sarah re-worked the original patch to move the code into the USB core, and updated it to check whether the USB device supports BESL, instead of checking if the xHCI port it's connected to supports BESL encoding.] This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.11, that contain the commit a558ccdcc71c7770c5e80c926a31cfe8a3892a09 "usb: xhci: add USB2 Link power management BESL support". Without this fix, some USB 3.0 devices will not enumerate or work properly under USB 2.0 ports on Haswell-ULT systems.
