Hi HPS,

Could you refer to the following document (4.6.6 Configure Endpoint:P.99)?
This document shows:

If the Drop Context flag is `1' and the Add Context flag is `1', the xHC shall:
o Release the current Resources and Bandwidth allocated to the
  endpoint and assign the new Resources and Bandwidth requested for
  the endpoint.

Regards,
 Kohji Okuno.
