+**Scoping audit (2026-07-20):** U1/U2 timeout *register* programming is trivial
+(xhci-hub.c:1488-1510, `PORT_U1/U2_TIMEOUT` in PORTPMSC), but the real work is
+upstream's timeout *computation*: `xhci_calculate_lpm_timeout` requires
+per-endpoint SEL/PEL from SuperSpeed endpoint companion descriptors across the
+hub tree, `calculate_max_exit_latency`, `xhci_check_tier_policy`, and only
+engages for controllers carrying the `XHCI_LPM_SUPPORT` quirk (vendor
+whitelist — "don't enable hub-initiated timeouts unless the vendor has
+provided information about their timeout algorithm"). A defaults-only
+implementation would be speculative non-upstream behavior that can break
+device links on real hardware. P7-B therefore needs a dedicated workstream
+covering endpoint-companion parsing + SEL/PEL plumbing first.

 **Tasks:**
 
 1. Implement U1/U2 entry per port via `PORT_U1_TIMEOUT` / `PORT_U2_TIMEOUT` registers.
