Some BRCMSTB USB chips have an XHCI, EHCI and OHCI controller on the same port where XHCI handles 3.0 devices, EHCI handles 2.0 devices and OHCI handles <2.0 devices. Currently the Makefile has XHCI linking at the bottom which will result in the XHIC driver initalizing after the EHCI and OHCI drivers and any installed 3.0 device will be seen as a 2.0 device. Moving the XHCI linking above the EHCI and OHCI linking fixes the issue.
What happens if all of these are modules and they are loaded in a different order? This makefile change will not help with that, you need to have logic in the code in order to properly coordinate this type of mess, sorry. thanks, greg k-h
