Dear Stephen, sorry for the delay in responding to this.
Commit 020bbcb "usb: hub: Power-cycle on root-hub ports" causes a regression on Tegra systems.
The first time "usb start" is executed, it appears to work correctly. However, any subsequent time it is executed, it takes a long time, and eventually fails to find any USB devices.
This situation can happen quite often; for example, if the user forgets to plug in a USB device before booting, runs "usb start", realizes that, then plugs it in and runs "usb start" again. This is compounded on at least one of the Tegra boards, since CONFIG_PREBOOT is set to "usb start" on systems (laptops/clamshells) which have built-in USB keyboards.
If I simply revert this patch, then everything works again. (Yes, reverting requires fixing a small merge conflict.)
Do you have any idea what the problem can be? I'm tempted to simply ask for the patch to be reverted since it causes a regression.
Thanks for any idea how to fix this!
BUMP? Vivek, any ideas? Otherwise I'm reverting this.

There's one BUG that i could see in " 0bf796f " commit. Now that we parallelized the sequence to power cycle ports, so if get_port_status for any port failed, it returns from hub_power_on() and not power-on any of the port.
Below is the change i suggest.
...
can you please confirm if you problem is related to this BUG in the sequence of power-cycling the ports.
I applied that change, and it does not solve the problem on Tegra, nor do I see any of the messages that were changed from debug to printf. Below is the log:
