+Subject: [PATCH 1/5] xhci: Cleanup only when releasing primary hcd
+
+Under stress occasions some TI devices might not return early when
+reading the status register during the quirk invocation of xhci_irq made
+by usb_hcd_pci_remove.  This means that instead of returning, we end up
+handling this interruption in the middle of a shutdown.  Since
+xhci->event_ring has already been freed in xhci_mem_cleanup, we end up
+accessing freed memory, causing the Oops below.
+
+commit 8c24d6d7b09d ("usb: xhci: stop everything on the first call to
+xhci_stop") is the one that changed the instant in which we clean up the
+event queue when stopping a device.  Before, we didn't call
+xhci_mem_cleanup at the first time xhci_stop is executed (for the shared
+HCD), instead, we only did it after the invocation for the primary HCD,
+much later at the removal path.  The code flow for this oops looks like
+this:
+
+xhci_pci_remove()
+	usb_remove_hcd(xhci->shared)
+	        xhci_stop(xhci->shared)
+ 			xhci_halt()
+			xhci_mem_cleanup(xhci);  // Free the event_queue
+	usb_hcd_pci_remove(primary)
+		xhci_irq()  // Access the event_queue if STS_EINT is set. Crash.
+		xhci_stop()
+			xhci_halt()
+			// return early
+
+The fix modifies xhci_stop to only cleanup the xhci data when releasing
+the primary HCD.  This way, we still have the event_queue configured
+when invoking xhci_irq.  We still halt the device on the first call to
+xhci_stop, though.
+
+I could reproduce this issue several times on the mainline kernel by
+doing a bind-unbind stress test with a specific storage gadget attached.
+I also ran the same test over-night with my patch applied and didn't
+observe the issue anymore.
