Thank you for your prompt response.
I understood your comment. And, I missunderstood about this.
But, in our xHCI, when we set these timeout values, its xHCI
controller sends LGO_U1 and the specified HDD accepts LGO_U1.
In this result, its HDD is not recognized correctly.
I think that our xHCI is wrong...
