This is probably caused by the required structure setup by U-Boot is
viewed as buggy by the xHCI controller, hence there is no response to
the first "enable slot" command.

Could you please compare all the data structures, with the one set up
by the Linux kernel?

BTW: does Linux kernel xHCI driver work on this RPI 4 board?
