I just checked the patch and I think this will work correctly in all cases,
but it still seems a bit backwards:

I think it would have been better to follow the normal driver abstraction here
and make the renesas xhci a specialized version of the xhci driver with
its own platform_driver instance that calls into the generic xhci_pci module,
rather than having the generic code treat it as a quirk.

That would be more like how we handle all the ehci and ohci variants, though
I'm not sure how exactly it would work with two drivers having pci_device_id
tables with non-exclusive members. Presumably the generic driver would
still have to know that it needs to fail its probe() function on devices that
need the firmware.
