sorry, that was nonprofessional. In the meantime, I got some new findings:

- v2019.06 is the last release were the device is detected

- reverting b1d9837182 ("usb: Change power-on / scanning timeout handling")
doesn't change anything (so it's not related to this problem)

- the problem was definitely introduced in
6044d6c08e ("usb: host: ehci: Use to USBSTS to wait for transfer completion")

Debugging with and without 6044d6c08e showed that waiting for USBSTS:INT
is not sufficient as QT_TOKEN_STATUS_ACTIVE is still set after this. Turning
the dev_dbg() into an dev_err() clearly shows this:

It seems that I can take multiple USBINTs until QT_TOKEN_STATUS_ACTIVE is
cleared. The following snippet works fine for me:

	volatile struct qTD *vtd;
	...
	vtd = td;
	do {
		ret = handshake(&ehci->hcor->or_usbsts, STS_USBINT, STS_USBINT,
				timeout_ms * 1000);
		if (ret < 0) {
			dev_err(ehci->dev, "handshake failed: %d\n", ret);
			ehci_enable_async_schedule(ehci, false);
			ehci_writel(&qh->qt_token, 0);
			return -ETIMEDOUT;
		}
		token = hc32_to_cpu(vtd->qt_token);
	} while (token & QT_TOKEN_STATUS_ACTIVE);

There is probably no benefit left compared to the version prior 6044d6c08e, so
if there is not better way to do this, I would propose to revert 6044d6c08e.

Christian
