Odd 'unable to find transceiver' messages from USB withv3.13-3260-g03d11a0 and later

[Josh Boyer]

Hi All,

We've had a report [1] of the USB layer throwing out 'unable to find
transceiver' messages during boot with the 3.14 merge window kernels.
I've seen this on my personal machine as well and included the dmesg
section below.  This does not happen with the 3.13 kernel.

There are only a handful of files in git that have that error, but I
haven't seen anything that immediately strikes me as causing this.
>From the dmesg output it looks like it is spit out right before a host
controller is registered?  USB seems to be still working OK in my
minimal testing, so the error message is confusing.

Thoughts?
