no idea, I don't have a lot of memory about this problem. I really don't
remember the details about this, is there an openly available errata
document which I could read ? /me goes search for it.
I found [1] which tells me, the following:
| i819 | A Device Control Bit Meta-Stability for USB3.0 Controller in
USB2.0 Mode |
|-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Criticality | Medium
|
| |
|
| Descritiion | When USB3.0 controller core is programmed to be a USB 2.0-only
device |
| | hardware meta-stability on USB_DCTL[31]RUNSTOP bit causing the
core to |
| | attempt high speed as well as SuperSpeed connection or
completely miss |
| | the attach request.
|
| |
|
| Workaround | If the requirement is to always function in USB 2.0 mode, there
is no |
| | workaround.
|
| | Otherwise, you can always program the USB controller core to be
SuperSpeed |
| | 3.0 capable (USB_DCFG[2:0]DEVSPD = 0x4)

So, TI's own documentation says that there is _no_ workaround. My
question is, then: How are you sure that resetting the device actually
solves the issue ? Did you really hit the metastability problem and
noted that it works after a soft-reset ? How did you verify that
Run/Stop was in a metastable state, considering that Run/Stop signal is
not visible outside the die ?
It seems to me that resetting the IP is just as "dangerous" as setting
the IP to High-speed in the first place. No ?
