xhci_check_args returns 4 types of value, -ENODEV, -EINVAL, 1 and 0.
xhci_urb_enqueue and xhci_check_streams_endpoint return -EINVAL if
the return value of xhci_check_args <= 0.
This will cause a problem.
For example, r8152_submit_rx calling usb_submit_urb in
drivers/net/usb/r8152.c.
r8152_submit_rx will never get -ENODEV after submiting an urb
when xHC is halted,
because xhci_urb_enqueue returns -EINVAL in the very beginning.

Thanks, added to queue.
Changed the commit message and header a bit:

"xhci: Prevent futile URB re-submissions due to incorrect return value.
The -ENODEV return value from xhci_check_args() is incorrectly changed
to -EINVAL in a couple places before propagated further.
xhci_check_args() returns 4 types of value, -ENODEV, -EINVAL, 1 and 0.
xhci_urb_enqueue and xhci_check_streams_endpoint return -EINVAL if
the return value of xhci_check_args <= 0.
This causes problems for example r8152_submit_rx, calling usb_submit_urb
in drivers/net/usb/r8152.c.
r8152_submit_rx will never get -ENODEV after submiting an urb when xHC
is halted because xhci_urb_enqueue returns -EINVAL in the very beginning."

Let me know if you disagree with this.

Thanks

Sounds good to me.

Do I have to send another patch with commit message and header changed?

Thanks
