It was pointed out to me on the u-boot mailing lists that all this could be
implemented trough a reset controller. In other words have xhci get the reset
controller trough device-tree, assert it, ultamately causing the firmware
routine to be run.

As much as it pains me to go over stuff that's already 'fixed', it seems to me
it's a better solution. On one hand we get over the device-tree dependency mess
(see patch #3), and on the other we transform a pci-quirk into something less
hacky.

That said, before getting my hands dirty, I was wondering if there is any
obvious reasons why I shouldn't do this, note that:

- We're talking here of a PCIe XCHI device, maybe there's an issue integrating
  it with DT, given the fact that, as of today, it's not really represented
  there.

- There is no reset controller support in xhci-pci, maybe there are good
  reasons why. For instance, it's not something that's reflected in any way in
  the spec.

Nicolas
