This patch is definitely wrong -- it defeats the entire purpose of 
rewriting the control register!  That write was added _specifically_ to 
put the controller into reset, i.e., to change the functional state.

Furthermore, the write does the same thing as ohci_hcd.c does in its
ohci_usb_reset() routine.  Regardless, ohci_run() does a complete host
controller reset, which should override anything done in pci-quirks.c.  
Perhaps _that_ routine needs some attention.
