Interesting. I see this exact same issue on Dalmore (Tegra114) with my
SD card reader too. I tried inserting a 1000ms delay at the end of
ehci_hcd_init() and that solves the problem for me too.

I already have 020bbcb "usb: hub: Power-cycle on root-hub ports"
reverted locally, although when I reverted it, IIRC there was a
conflict, so it's possible I just hacked around that and ended up
reverting all/part of 0bf796f "usb: hub: Parallelize power-cycling of
root-hub ports" too; see my branch at:

git://github.com:swarren/u-boot.git mainline_dev

... if you want to see the revert (about 8 commits down).

Another interesting aspect to this: An NVIDIA intern is trying to get
the Linux Tegra USB driver working on Tegra114. All the devices we've
tried except this SD card reader work fine with that driver, so
there's obviously something quirky with it. However, once I've run
"usb start" twice in U-Boot, or added the mdelay() to U-Boot and run
"usb start" once in U-Boot, then the kernel driver works with the
problematic SD card reader...
