Michal Pecio c133ec0e57 usb: xhci: Enable the TRB overfetch quirk on VIA VL805
Raspberry Pi is a major user of those chips and they discovered a bug -
when the end of a transfer ring segment is reached, up to four TRBs can
be prefetched from the next page even if the segment ends with link TRB
and on page boundary (the chip claims to support standard 4KB pages).

It also appears that if the prefetched TRBs belong to a different ring
whose doorbell is later rung, they may be used without refreshing from
system RAM and the endpoint will stay idle if their cycle bit is stale.

Other users complain about IOMMU faults on x86 systems, unsurprisingly.

Deal with it by using existing quirk which allocates a dummy page after
each transfer ring segment. This was seen to resolve both problems. RPi
came up with a more efficient solution, shortening each segment by four
TRBs, but it complicated the driver and they ditched it for this quirk.

Also rename the quirk and add VL805 device ID macro.

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 reStructuredText 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.
