Yes, right.

Host Controller doesn't respond handshake. I don't know why and I ask HW team
to debug it.

I mean someone can add new quirk if one still needs long timeout. I guess 1 sec
seems enough but there're many kinds of devices.

It was 250 msecs before changed to 10 secs. There's no required minimum time in
xhci specification. 1 second is estimated number and it works well on my device.

I guess the root cause of it is from host controller, which it is HW.
Our HW engineer has been debugging it, but I haven't get any clue till now.
However, I think 10 secs timeout is too long and it can cause system problem.
That's why I want to change timeout value. A CPU core would not do anything but
waiting xhci reset for 10 secs with disabling irq like below.

usb_remove_hcd -> xhci_stop -> xhci_reset -> xhci_handshake

static void xhci_stop(struct usb_hcd *hcd)
{
        u32 temp;
        struct xhci_hcd *xhci = hcd_to_xhci(hcd);

        mutex_lock(&xhci->mutex);

        /* Only halt host and free memory after both hcds are removed */
        if (!usb_hcd_is_primary_hcd(hcd)) {
                mutex_unlock(&xhci->mutex);
                return;
        }

        xhci_dbc_exit(xhci);

        spin_lock_irq(&xhci->lock);           -> disable IRQ
        xhci->xhc_state |= XHCI_STATE_HALTED;
        xhci->cmd_ring_state = CMD_RING_STATE_STOPPED;
        xhci_halt(xhci);
        xhci_reset(xhci);                     -> 10 seconds timeout!
        spin_unlock_irq(&xhci->lock);
