Hi

What kernel did you try this patch on?

The output look a bit like the regression in 4.0-rc3 caused by:
commit 27082e2654dc148078b0abdfc3c8e5ccbde0ebfa
    xhci: Clear the host side toggle manually when endpoint is 'soft reset'

which will be reverted (in 4.0-rc5 I hope).

If you boot the same base kernel without the patch does it work then?
