Could be related to resume singnalling time.
Does the xhci fix for it in 4.9-rc3 help?

commit 7d3b016a6f5a0fa610dfd02b05654c08fa4ae514
    xhci: use default USB_RESUME_TIMEOUT when resuming ports.

It doesn't directly explain why it would work on Broadwell but not Kabylake,
but it resolved very similar cases.

If not, then adding dynamic debug for xhci could show something.
