Yes, we could filter these things out at either spot.

But that's not the best approach. The reason xen-hcd.c needs this
change in the first place is because the code is buggy, and the change
does not fix the real bug.

Section 11.24.2.2 (CLEAR PORT FEATURE) of the USB-2 spec says:

It is a Request Error if wValue is not a feature selector listed
in Table 11-17, if wIndex specifies a port that does not exist,
or if wLength is not as specified above.

xenhcd_hub_control() validates wIndex but not wValue. (In theory we
should validate wLength also, but in practice it doesn't matter.)
Here's an example from the code:

case ClearPortFeature:
if (!wIndex || wIndex > ports)
goto error;

switch (wValue) {
case USB_PORT_FEAT_SUSPEND:
xenhcd_rhport_resume(info, wIndex);
break;
case USB_PORT_FEAT_POWER:
xenhcd_rhport_power_off(info, wIndex);
break;
case USB_PORT_FEAT_ENABLE:
xenhcd_rhport_disable(info, wIndex);
break;
case USB_PORT_FEAT_C_CONNECTION:
info->ports[wIndex - 1].c_connection = false;
default:
info->ports[wIndex - 1].status &= ~(1 << wValue);

This line is wrong, and not just because wValue might be too large. The
only status bits that should be manipulated are the ones controlling
features the driver actually implements. Not random bits passed in by
the caller!

break;
}
break;

So here's what the code _should_ look like (just the end part):

case USB_PORT_FEAT_C_CONNECTION:
info->ports[wIndex - 1].c_connection = false;
fallthrough;
case USB_PORT_FEAT_C_RESET:
case USB_PORT_FEAT_C_ENABLE:
case USB_PORT_FEAT_C_SUSPEND:
info->ports[wIndex - 1].status &= ~(1 << wValue);
break;
default:
goto error;
}
break;

(Perhaps also include USB_PORT_FEAT_C_OVER_CURRENT and
USB_PORT_FEAT_INDICATOR, depending on whether the driver supports them.)

This way the driver does the right thing in all cases and it never runs
the risk of a shift amount being too big. The other HCD drivers are
written this way.

Similar reasoning applies to the SetPortFeature section.
