This is not correct.  CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI defaults to y when
CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD and CONFIG_USB_PCI are enabled.  The EJ168 on Mamba
works just fine on v4.14 without this patch.

The xhci-pci driver is also enabled and binds to the EJ168 on v4.19. And
it almost works - as shown by my usbmon traces.  There would obviously
not be any port or bus to trace if the EJ168 driver was disabled...

So this fix has no effect.  The v4.14 -> v4.19 regression on Mamba must
be caused by something else.

But I am starting to wonder if it might be unrelated to OpenWrt, EJ168
and Mamba at all. There are some suspicious-looking changes to the
serial driver (io_edgeport) I am using.  I'll do some testing with other
devices and platforms.
