FWIW, many problems I had with ehci(4) in 5.4 are now gone i 6.0-
RELEASE.
And the fact that it is now part of GENERIC should mean that the
developers believe it has become more stable.
I have not tested it extensively yet, but now I at least can boot a
machine with a USB 2.0 drive connected without it hanging forever
after "waiting for SCSI devices to settle". And it also works without
disabling onboard USB 1.0 / USB 1.1.
I have yet to test pulling mounted drives during I/O and other nasty
stuff :-)
