USB: xhci: Work around for chain bit in link TRBs.
Different sections of the xHCI 0.95 specification had opposing requirements for the chain bit in a link transaction request buffer (TRB). The chain bit is used to designate that adjacent TRBs are all part of the same scatter gather list that should be sent to the device. Link TRBs can be in the middle, or at the beginning or end of these chained TRBs. Sections 4.11.5.1 and 6.4.4.1 both stated the link TRB "shall have the chain bit set to 1", meaning it is always chained to the next TRB. However, section 4.6.9 on the stop endpoint command has specific cases for what the hardware must do for a link TRB with the chain bit set to 0. The 0.96 specification errata later cleared up this issue by fixing the 4.11.5.1 and 6.4.4.1 sections to state that a link TRB can have the chain bit set to 1 or 0. The problem is that the xHCI cancellation code depends on the chain bit of the link TRB being cleared when it's at the end of a TD, and some 0.95 xHCI hardware simply stops processing the ring when it encounters a link TRB with the chain bit cleared. Allow users who are testing 0.95 xHCI prototypes to set a module parameter (link_quirk) to turn on this link TRB work around. Cancellation may not work if the ring is stopped exactly on a link TRB with chain bit set, but cancellation should be a relatively uncommon case.
