Mathias Nyman 2710f8186f xhci: Stop unnecessary tracking of free trbs in a ring
Trying to keep track of free trbs in a ring by adding and subtracting
deltas each time a enqueue or dequeue is increased or moved has proven to
be buggy and complicated, especially over long periods of time.

Recently a bug in counting free trbs was fixed, now taking into account
cancelled URBs that were turned into no-ops, preventing free_trbs to
slowly wander off causing unnecessary ring expansion. See
commit fe82f16aaf ("xhci: Fix incorrect tracking of free space on
transfer rings")

Turns out its a lot easier to just calculate the numer of free TRB
based on ring size and the current enqueue and dequeue pointer values.
This is currently only needed for the command ring as multi segment
transfer rings already ensures there is enough room the ring during
the ring expansion check.

We could get rid of the ring->num_trbs_free entry completely, but as
the xhci DbC code also uses it we don't clean that up in this patch.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
