The Synopsys xHC has an internal TRB cache of size TRB_CACHE_SIZE for
each endpoint. The default value for TRB_CACHE_SIZE is 16 for SS and 8
for HS. The controller loads and updates the TRB cache from the transfer
ring in system memory whenever the driver issues a start transfer or
update transfer command.

For chained TRBs, the Synopsys xHC requires that the total amount of
bytes for all TRBs loaded in the TRB cache be greater than or equal to 1
MPS. Or the chain ends within the TRB cache (with a last TRB).

If this requirement is not met, the controller will not be able to send
or receive a packet and it will hang causing a driver timeout and error.

This can be a problem if a class driver queues SG requests with many
small-buffer entries. The XHCI driver will create a chained TRB for each
entry which may trigger this issue.

This patch adds logic to the XHCI driver to detect and prevent this from
happening.

For every (TRB_CACHE_SIZE - 2), we check the total buffer size of
the SG list and if the last window of (TRB_CACHE_SIZE - 2) SG list length
and we don't make up at least 1 MPS, we create a temporary buffer to
consolidate full SG list into the buffer.

We check at (TRB_CACHE_SIZE - 2) window because it is possible that there
would be a link and/or event data TRB that take up to 2 of the cache
entries.

We discovered this issue with devices on other platforms but have not
yet come across any device that triggers this on Linux. But it could be
a real problem now or in the future. All it takes is N number of small
chained TRBs. And other instances of the Synopsys IP may have smaller
values for the TRB_CACHE_SIZE which would exacerbate the problem.
