It's possible that this problem is related to wakeup settings.  Have 
you tried disabling wakeup for the EHCI controllers?

This certainly appears to be some sort of bug in the firmware.  Finding 
it and working around it isn't likely to be easy.  Unbinding (or 
unloading) ehci-hcd may indeed be the path of least resistance.
