An update on this issue: it looks like it only happens if "xhci-mtk
11290000.usb" probes before "mtk-pcie-gen3 112f8000.pcie". What they have in
common is that both of those nodes use phys that share the same t-phy block:
pcie uses the usb3 phy while xhci uses the usb2 phy. So it seems that some of
the initialization done by the pcie controller might be implicitly needed by the
usb controller.

This should help to narrow down the issue and find a proper fix for it.

Thanks,
Nícolas
