USB: ehci: stop vt6212 bus hogging

Browse Source 
The VIA VT6212 defaults to only waiting 1us between passes over EHCI's
async ring, which hammers PCI badly ... and by preventing other devices
from accessing the bus, causes problems like drops in IDE throughput,
a problem that's been bugging users of those chips for several years.

A (partial) datasheet for this chip eventually turned up, letting us
see how to make it use a VIA-specific register to switch over to the
the normal 10us value instead, as suggested by the EHCI specification
Solution noted by Lev A. Melnikovsky.

It's not clear whether this register exists on other VIA chips; we
know that it's ineffective on the vt8235.  So this patch only applies
to chips that seem to be incarnations of the (discrete) vt6212.
