12 I went through some similar pain about a year ago with intermittent and
13 hard-to-reproduce usb3 errors. I've snipped so much because I don't
14 know enough to comment on your details, but I did learn one thing
15 during my struggle: the xhci driver is under heavy development, and
16 bugs are being added and fixed almost every day.

18 Based on my experience, I think that trying different versions of the
19 kernel (maybe even vanilla-kernel?) would give you more useful info
20 than switching compiler/use flags, etc.

22 <kernel gossip> Sarah Sharp was xhci maintainer during my troubles,
23 and I was sad to learn that she resigned because of Linus's foul and
24 abusive (and unrepentant) behavior towards other kernel devs.
