Niklas already wrote a patch to remove it.

It's sitting in my for-usb-next branch

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mnyman/xhci.git/commit/?h=for-usb-next&id=ee7dab196a7dfc48a1608274329323cb10b4340d
I know that it's pure paranoia, but this patch removes a quiet debug
message about an obviously abnormal and likely harmful condition.

My patch turned it into a nice red error.

This will be something to keep in mind, for example somebody could
write a patch which reclaims an empty transfer ring segment without
chceking if there is a Set TR Dequeue pending to this segemnt. That
could lead to very interesting outcomes if all TRBs in the segment
are No-Op'ed and the next page is a transfer ring of other endpoint.

Other than that, I suppose there is currently no problem. The loop
for finding new dequeue position doesn't seem prone to jumping off
the ring as long as the ring itself isn't corrupted.
