Disable broken xhci device before suspend and avoid freeze.

One thing: it should be bash in shebang not sh.

One thing: it should be bash in shebang not sh.

why would it need to be bash? it's a perfectly valid posix sh script

interesting... with sh I've got:

./xhci: 15: [: pre: unexpected operator
./xhci: 19: [: pre: unexpected operator

It's debian, so sh is dash.

$ ls -la /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun 21 13:28 /bin/sh -> dash

When I change to bash it works perfectly fine.

ah, i was wrong; the test utility specification doesn't require == to be supported, only = or -eq

for maximum compatibility, the script could be edited to use = instead
