usb: xhci: Set avg_trb_len = 8 for EP0 during Address Device Command
There is a subtle contradiction between sections of the xHCI 1.2 spec regarding the initialization of Input Endpoint Context fields. Section 4.8.2 ("Endpoint Context Initialization") states that all fields should be initialized to 0. However, Section 6.2.3 ("Endpoint Context", p.453) specifies that the Average TRB Length (avg_trb_len) field shall be greater than 0, and explicitly notes (p.454): "Software shall set Average TRB Length to '8' for control endpoints." Strictly setting all fields to 0 during initialization conflicts with the specific recommendation for control endpoints. In practice, setting avg_trb_len = 0 is not meaningful for the hardware/firmware, as the value is used for bandwidth calculation. Motivation: Our company is developing a custom Virtual xHC hardware platform that strictly follows the xHCI spec and its recommendations. During validation, we observed that enumeration fails and a parameter error (TRB Completion Code = 5) is reported if avg_trb_len for EP0 is not set to 8 as recommended by Section 6.2.3. This demonstrates the importance of assigning a meaningful, non-zero value to avg_trb_len, even in virtualized or emulated environments. This patch explicitly sets avg_trb_len to 8 for EP0 in xhci_setup_addressable_virt_dev(), as recommended in Section 6.2.3, to prevent potential issues with xHCI host controllers that enforce the spec strictly.
