Current shutdown routine just forces the host controller to stop, it clears the run bit and polls the "halted" status for 16ms. Apparently we don't see the halted

Spec say that the correct way to stop is to first command all transfer rings to stop,
then stop the command ring, and after that stop the host controller.

If we just bluntly stop the host (as we do) spec say (xhci 5.4.1.1) it should stop
anyway within 16ms, but undefined behavior may occur.

So the options in xHCI are down to:
1. just clear the run bit and ignore checking any status.
    - really fast shutdown routine for xhci
2. clear run bit and increase status polling time, see if we get rid of error message. - can get rid of error message but no actual change, well, we would know if host stopped 3. properly stop all transfer rings and command ring, and then stop host. - cleanest and slowest way, do we care about this? everything should be reset after shutdown.

Or you could use a sledgehammer approach, and do a hardware reset of
the controller chip.

Thanks for all your feedback!!
We will re-submit the patch with hardware reset.

Thanks,
Wendy
