USB 3.1 Gen 2 in 4.6 is not broken just because device is not seen as
SuperSpeedPlus 10Gbps device.

Hello,
I noticed that an FPGA was used to develop most of the USB3.1 Gen2 code.
This appears to be broken with actual devices. I have 2 startech docks,
and 2 startech hdd enclosures. I am also testing with an akitio gen2 ssd
tray.
When testing speeds with 3.0 and 3.1 ports I do notice a difference in
speeds. But dmesg and lsusb -t will never enumerate a device above
Gen1(5000m cap). It always states "new SuperSpeed device number *" in
dmesg. I believe the code itself is broken so I was reaching out to you
for some advice, as this subject is still new and unexplored in depth.

All parts in the chain need to support usb3.1 Gen2 capability before the speed
of a
device is seen as SuperSpeedPlus.
1. First the xhci host controller SBRN register (Serial Bus Release Number) must
be 3.1 (0x31). If this is true you will see this info message during boot:
"Host supports USB 3.1 Enhanced SuperSpeed"
2. The supported protocols for ports listed in xhci extended capabilities need
to have major and minor revisions set to 3 and 1. (3.1)
If the xhci host has custom speed mappings (PSIC is set) then they must
include
the necessary settings for 3.1 10Gbps support (LP = 1 etc). If not then
default
speed mappings are set. Default mappings includ SSP 10Gbps support.
The major and minor revisions can be seen with lsusb -v,
(bcdUSB = 3.10 in device descriptor)
If you compile the latest lsusb from sources it will also show the
SuperSpeedPlus
device capability with the supported speeds.
3. The device itself needs to be 3.1 capable, bcdUSB = 3.1 and it needs to have
the
SuperSpeedPlus device capability with the correct speeds supported.
So far I've seen two 3.1 Gen2 host controllers with SBRN set to 0x30 instead of
0x31
So that could be a likely issue.
If this is becoming a trend we might need to work around it, or ignore checking
sbrn.
