The ehci controller found in some Broadcom switches with integrated SoCs
has an issue which causes a soft lockup with large transfers like you
see when running ext4 on USB3 flash drive.
Port the fix from the Broadcom XLDK to increase the OUT_THRESHOLD to
avoid the problem.

I don't have much data on what this change does. I can say it is needed to
avoid a soft lockup when using a USB3 Flash drive formatted has ext4 (USB2 +
ext4 is OK, USB3 + fat is OK). I presume the affected combination ends up using
larger transfers triggering the problem.
The equivalent change in the Broadcom XLDK is
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_USB_EHCI_XGS_IPROC))
ehci_writel(ehci, BCM_USB_FIFO_THRESHOLD,
&ehci->regs->reserved4[6]);
This is problematic because it would unconditionally apply to all ehci
controllers whenever CONFIG_USB_EHCI_XGS_IPROC is enabled (also reserved4 only
goes to 6 so technically it's indexing off the end of the array).
I wasn't sure if I should add a new property or somehow detect the affected
host controller. I settled on using of_device_is_compatible() as that seemed
the simplest thing to do.
