Yes, you are right, we need to check these carefully.

Suspend process, module unload and abrupt host removal, they all will
issue usb_disconnect() firstly before clear the command queue, it will
check URBs for every endpoint by
usb_disconnect()--->usb_disable_device()--->usb_disable_endpoint(),
which will make sure every URBs of endpoints will be cancelled by the
stop endpoint command responding or the timeout function of stop
endpoint command (xhci_stop_endpoint_command_timeout()) in
usb_hcd_flush_endpoint(). From that point, we can make sure the
command timer will be useful to handle stop endpoint command timeout.
Please correct me if I said something wrong. Thanks.
