I happen to still have the logs, the relevant part is pasted at the end.

Answering some of the questions: the driver is on the platform bus, in
fact, it's drivers/usb/host/ehci-tegra.c; after seeing the oops below,
I added printks when entering and exiting tegra_ehci_probe to try to
understand it better.

Note that in the log we see some thread entering tegra_ehci_probe, but
nothing indicates that it has exited before we get the oops.
The commit d1c6c030fcec6f860d9bb6c632a3ebe62e28440b(driver core:
fix shutdown races with probe/remove(v3)) has been merged to v3.6, so
device_shutdown will wait for completing of probe.

Could you test kernel 3.6 or the latest kernel to see if the problem can be
reproduced?

Thanks,
