Your problem is in the sdhci code, not the usb controller.

But even with this, does the operation succeed properly?

The rpi hardware is HORRID when it comes to the USB controller, so those
xhci messages might just be normal given the lack of irq handling that
the platform was known to have in the past (note, might be better now,
no idea, sorry.)

But again, is the operation failing?  Is your sd card working properly?
Does the problem go away with a new/better sd card?

thanks,

greg k-h
