USB: EHCI: add software retry for transaction errors
This patch (as1204) adds a software retry mechanism to ehci-hcd. It gets invoked when the driver encounters transaction errors on an asynchronous endpoint. On many systems, hardware deficiencies cause such errors to occur if one device is unplugged while the host is communicating with another device. With the patch, the failed transactions are retried and generally succeed the second or third time through. This is based on code originally written by Koichiro Saito.
