Description

The USB 3.2 standard is backward compatible with USB 3.1/3.0 and USB 2.0. It defines the following transfer modes:

    USB 3.2 Gen 1×1 – SuperSpeed, 5 Gbit/s (0.500 GB/s) data signaling rate over 1 lane using 8b/10b encoding, the same as USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0.
    USB 3.2 Gen 1×2 – SuperSpeed+, new 10 Gbit/s (1.00 GB/s) data rate over 2 lanes using 8b/10b encoding.
    USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 – SuperSpeed+, 10 Gbit/s (~1.2 GB/s) data rate over 1 lane using 128b/132b encoding, the same as USB 3.1 Gen 2.
    USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 – SuperSpeed+, new 20 Gbit/s (~2.4 GB/s) data rate over 2 lanes using 128b/132b encoding

NOTE: USB 3.2 is supported in Windows 10 and Linux 4.18 USB 3.x drivers

The entire point of XHCI was to abstract away future changes to the USB specification inside the controller, rather than inside the drivers. So, unless you have a USB 3.2 device that you can show works in "USB 3.2 mode" under Linux but not under Haiku, there is nothing to do here.

Ok. My Lexar 128GB USB 3.1 drive works in USB 2.0 mode with hrev53636. Will test "USB 3.2 mode" controller and drive issues in future releases.

If it is running in USB 2.0 mode, this must mean it is on a USB 2 port or hub. All USB 3+ devices should operate in USB 3.0 mode at the very least, if plugged in to the appropriate port.
