USB: ohci handles hardware faults during root port resets
I have found a problem where the root_port_reset() goes into an infinite loop and stalls the kernel. This happens when a hardware fault inside the machine occurs during a small timing window. In case of USB device connection, if a USB device responds to hcd_submit_urb(), and later the controller fails before root_port_reset(), root_port_reset() will loop infinitely because ohci_readl() will always return "-1". Such a failure can include ejecting a CardBus OHCI controller. The probability of this problem is low, but it will increase if PnP type usage is frequent. The attached patch can solve this problem and I believe that it is better to fix this problem.
