Hi,

XHCI is very new, and there might be hardware differences out there.

BTW: The USB 3.0 switching found in Linux is for Pantherpoint only:

See /drivers/usb/host/pci-quirks.c in a recent Linux source code tree:

bool usb_is_intel_switchable_xhci(struct pci_dev *pdev)
{
        return pdev->class == PCI_CLASS_SERIAL_USB_XHCI &&
                pdev->vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL &&
                pdev->device == PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_PANTHERPOINT_XHCI;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(usb_is_intel_switchable_xhci);

--HPS
