You are sure you're running a vanilla 3.12.7 kernel, right? > I can't believe the adapter works perfectly in a different computer. Have you > seen this kind of thing before? No, at least not this particular host-dying-only-on-one-machine failure mode. > At the moment I have two machines using your xhci driver and both work perfectly, > so I thank you again :) > > I'm not sure where to go with this next.

The issue with your PCI add-in card only happens in combination with a specific motherboard, so I don't think it makes sense to disable the no-op TRBs for that host. If lots of other people start reporting the same issue with the ASMedia 0.96 host, and reverting commit 35773dac5f862cb1c82ea151eba3e2f6de51ec3e "usb: xhci: Link TRB must not occur within a USB payload burst" helps them, then I'll reconsider that decision. Thank you so much for your patience while debugging this issue, and being willing to try all sorts of kernels and patches. I'm glad we finally figured out what the issue was, and you have working xHCI hosts now.
