usb: hub: Check device descriptor before resusciation
If a device connected to an xHCI host controller disconnects from the USB bus and then reconnects, e.g. triggered by a firmware update, then the host controller automatically activates the connection and the port is enabled. The implementation of hub_port_connect_change() assumes that if the port is enabled then nothing has changed. There is no check if the USB descriptors have changed. As a result, the kernel's internal copy of the descriptors ends up being incorrect and the device doesn't work properly anymore. The solution to the problem is for hub_port_connect_change() always to check whether the device's descriptors have changed before resuscitating an enabled port.
