USB: OHCI: workaround for hardware bug: retired TDs not added to the Done Queue
This patch (as1636) is a partial workaround for a hardware bug affecting OHCI controllers by NVIDIA at least, maybe others too. When the controller retires a Transfer Descriptor, it is supposed to add the TD onto the Done Queue. But sometimes this doesn't happen, with the result that ohci-hcd never realizes the corresponding transfer has finished. Symptoms can vary; a typical result is that USB audio stops working after a while. The patch works around the problem by recognizing that TDs are always processed in order. Therefore, if a later TD is found on the Done Queue than all the earlier TDs for the same endpoint must be finished as well. Unfortunately this won't solve the problem in cases where the missing TD is the last one in the endpoint's queue. A complete fix would require a signficant amount of change to the driver.
