Maybe I can change "It" to "Software", xHCI specification uses
"Software" when describing this.

This commit is not used to fix a specific commit. We find a condition
that when XHCI runs the resume process but the HCE flag is set, then
the Run/Stop bit of USBCMD cannot be set so that HC would not be
enabled. In fact, HC may already meet a problem at this moment.
Besides, in xHCI requirements specification revision 1.2, Table 5-21
BIT(12) claims that Software should re-initialize the xHC when HCE is
set. Therefore, I think this commit could be the error handling for
HCE.

In xhci_suspend(), it seems doesn't really check whether STS_HCE is
set and then break the suspend(The only case for checking HCE is when
STS_SAVE setting failed). So suspend function may be still able to
finish even if HCE is set? Then xhci_resume will still be called.

I believe this is not the only place that the host controller may set
HCE, the host controller may set HCE anytime it sees an error in my
opinion, not only in suspend or resume.
I think this could be a recovery if xhci finds HCE during the resume process.
If someone finds HCE in other functions, it may also need to do the
recovery too.
