why don't you just add a quirk flag to ehci struct so that it knows it
shouldn't access CONFIGFLAG register when that's non-existent ?

There are only 5 uses of configured_flag in ehci-hcd.c, so it should be
easy to wrap that around a flag check.

Alan, would you have a better idea ? Looks like this is a non-standard
EHCI implementation.
