---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@...e.com>

commit 1eaf35e4dd592c59041bc1ed3248c46326da1f5f upstream.

The module should fail to load.

[ luis: backported to 3.16:
  - moved usb_disabled() check to the top of the function so that there's
    no need to invoke xhci_unregister_pci() before returning.  Suggested
    by gregkh. ]
