All that means is the problem can be fixed by adding a reset.  It
doesn't mean that the problem was caused by a missing reset.

This device worked okay.

Is this the problem you are referring to?

And this?

Since some devices work and some don't, maybe part of the problem lies 
in the particular devices.

Have you tried bisecting between 3.4 and 3.10 to find which commit 
caused the behavior to change?

What about if you just do:

	rmmod ehci-pci
	modprobe ehci-pci
