I think this should be done inside the spin_lock.

The DRD mode change sequence should be like this if we want to switch
from host -> device according to the programming guide (for all DRD IPs):
1. Reset controller with GCTL.CoreSoftReset
2. Set GCTL.PrtCapDir(device)
3. Soft reset with DCTL.CSftRst
4. Then follow up with the initializing registers sequence

However, from code review, with this patch, it follows this sequence:
a. Soft reset with DCTL.CSftRst on driver probe
b. Reset controller with GCTL.CoreSoftReset
c. Set GCTL.PrtCapDir(device)
d. < missing DCTL.CSftRst >
e. Then follow up with initializing registers sequence

It may work, but it doesn't follow the programming guide.

For device -> host, it should be fine because the xHCI driver will do
USBCMD.HCRST during initialization.
