Subject: Boot stops with ehci-pci, kernel 4.3.0

Hello,

I am facing an strange issue. I am unable to boot a Dell PowerEdge R210 
if ehci-pci module is built into the kernel. The _ marker just blinks, 
after few minutes nothing has changed. The last messages it does display 
that I can get thru iDRAC is:

     ehci_hcd: USB 2.0 'Enhanced' Host Controller
     ehci-pci: EHCI PCI platform driver
     ehci-pci 0000:00:1a.0: EHCI Host Controller
     ehci-pci 0000:00:1a.0: new USB bus registred, assigned bust number 1
     ehci-pci 0000:00:1a.0: debug port 2
     ehci-pci 0000:00:1a.0: irq 22, io mem 0xdf0fa0

if I disable the USB support, the kernel does boots just fine. Booting 
Ubuntu 14.04's kernel 3.13.0-24-generic does not seems to suffer from 
this very problem.

The lspci -vvv for ehci-pci (from ubuntu 14.04 rescue image):

         Kernel driver in use: ehci-pci

For the test purpose I've created a bare-minimal kernel with `make 
allnoconfig`. Not even filesystem has been included, and it still fails 
the same way.

I'd appreciate any help on resolving this very issue.
