Sorry but I'll take it back. I don't understand the problem, so I
can't really file a bug.

Just in case there is a misunderstanding, I'll explain the situation
again. Right now there is no issue with xHCI controller driver. Prarit
has Dell machine that apparently has buggy BIOS. He suggested a WA [1]
for his issue, but that WA broke the xHCI on my Haswell machine. This
patch fixed his issue and left my xHCI controller working.

Maybe it would make sense to create a bug for the original issue with
the buggy BIOS on Prarit's Dell. Prarit, you need to file that one!
