The xHCI specification suggests that writing the hardware event ring dequeue
pointer register too often can be an expensive operation for the xHCI hardware
to manage. It suggests minimizing the number of writes to that register.
Originally, the driver wrote the event ring dequeue pointer after each
event was processed. Depending on how the event ring moderation register
is set up and how fast the transfers are completing, there may be several
events processed for each interrupt. This patch makes the hardware event
ring dequeue pointer be written only once per interrupt.
Make the transfer event handler and port status event handler only write
the software event ring dequeue pointer. Move the updating of the
hardware event ring dequeue pointer into the interrupt function. Move the
contents of xhci_set_hc_event_deq() into the interrupt handler. The
interrupt handler must clear the event handler busy flag, so it might as
well also write the dequeue pointer to the same register. This eliminates
two 32-bit PCI reads and two 32-bit PCI writes.
