I don't understand. What patch is that? Do you have a URL for it? > The current method is an improved method of the above patch. > This patch just make it skip registering USB-3 root hub if that hub has no > ports, No, that isn't what this patch does. If the root hub wasn't registered, hub_probe wouldn't get called. But with your patch, the system tries to register the root hub, and it does call hub_probe, and then that function fails with a warning message. The way to _really_ akip registering the root hub is to change the xhci-hcd code. Make it skip calling usb_add_hcd. > after skipping registering, no port will not report error log,the goal of this > patch is reached without error log output. Why do you want to get rid of the error log output? There really _is_ an error, because the USB-3 hardware on your controller is defective. Since the hardware is buggy, we _should_ print an error message in the kernel log. Alan Stern
