USB: EHCI: fix handling of dead controllers
This patch (as1165) makes a few small changes in the logic used by ehci-hcd when it encounters a controller error: Instead of printing out the masked status, it prints the original status as read directly from the hardware. It doesn't check for the STS_HALT status bit before taking action. The mere fact that the STS_FATAL bit is set means that something bad has happened and the controller needs to be reset. With the old code this test could never succeed because the STS_HALT bit was masked out from the status. I anticipate that this will prevent the occasional "irq X: nobody cared" problem people encounter when their EHCI controllers die.
