Looks like a bug on the Blaze boards. There's a large capacitor
on the rails that starts charging when we try to power the USB PHY.
The inrush current is quite high and this causes the reboot.

The capacitor is on the big motherboard called the application
board, so it's independent of the silicon rev. I'm not sure
which revs are affected - I'll try and find out more about the
issue to see if I can come up with a better fix.
