When adding support for USB3-over-USB4 tunnelling detection, a check
for an Intel-specific capability was added. This capability, which
goes by ID 206, is used without any check that we are actually
dealing with an Intel host.
As it turns out, the Cadence XHCI controller *also* exposes an
extended capability numbered 206 (for unknown purposes), but of
course doesn't have the Intel-specific registers that the tunnelling
code is trying to access. Fun follows.
The core of the problems is that the tunnelling code blindly uses
vendor-specific capabilities without any check (the Intel-provided
documentation I have at hand indicates that 192-255 are indeed
vendor-specific).
Restrict the detection code to Intel HW for real, preventing any
further explosion on my (non-Intel) HW.

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.
