Looks like when xhci changed to use "new scheme" device enumeration for non
SuperSpeed devices, we broke the device descriptor read retry for xhci.

Normally we try to read the descriptor again, and if it still fails then fall back
to old scheme. In this failing xhci case the slot is left in a default state after
first failed descriptor read, and we then try to enable the slot again in retry, 
which is an invalid xhci context state change, and prints the error message:

xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Setup ERROR: setup context command for slot 1

After this It might be hard to get the device addressed. 

I don't know why it fail the first device descriptor read, but fixing the xhci part
should allow more real reties. I'll work on it.

The change to use xhci "new scheme" enumeration was done in 3.14 to support known
legacy devices requiring it. commit 48fc7dbd52c0559647291f33a10ccdc6cdbe4c72
