Thanks for your comments. I will check and see how this could be done.
It might not be so straightforward since the XHCI controller is a PCI 
device matched by the pci_device_id so we would need to be looking 
at the compatible string of the PCI controller to set the quirk in 
the xhci layer. It's the PCI bridge that introduces the limitation, 
not the VL805 XHCI controller chip.
