Maybe now it's time to fix it with > this patch as well? That sounds like it involves some weird detail of how the board manages handing off non-high-speed devices to the companion controller. For instance, maybe the PCI interface to the EHCI controller has to be enabled before the UHCI controller can access the USB bus. Or maybe power to the bus is totally under the control of the EHCI hardware and not the UHCI hardware. I'm not sure where to start looking, but I suspect that the fix will be found somewhere other than in the UHCI driver. Anyway, it probably deserves its own patch since it's really a separate problem from the one this patch was designed to fix.
