In particular, what BIOS settings do you have that relate to USB?  Under
my system's BIOS menu, I see USB options under Advanced -> USB and
Advanced -> PCH-IO Configuration -> USB.

Under the PCH USB options, do you have an option called "xHCI Mode"?  If
so, what is it set to?  If it's set to "Disabled", try setting it to
"Smart Auto" and see if that helps.  Setting it to "Enabled" will cause
the BIOS to put the ports under xHCI, but that's not usually on by
default.  I'm wondering if the BIOS is attempting to disable the xHCI
PCI device for some reason.

The xHCI driver really isn't designed to work with GPIO, it only does
memory mapped I/O right now.

There is no such setting on this system.

The reason is probably old versions of that OS.

Well and this works but only later. Is it possible that the quirk is simply
called too early?. Shifting it later makes it work on my test systems.
