Bug appears with WOL disabled too, moreover, it appears with PCH LAN
disabled at all in the BIOS.

Yes, switching back to EHCI in xhci_shutdown() solves the problem.

I suppose to do something like this in xhci_shutdown:
	pdev = to_pci_dev(hcd->self.controller);

	if (usb_is_intel_switchable_xhci(pdev)){
		brd_name = dmi_get_system_info(DMI_BOARD_NAME);

		/* quirk for Compulab's Intense-PC board */
		if (brd_name && strstr(brd_name, "Intense-PC"))
			usb_disable_xhci_ports(pdev);
	}

Is it ok?

May be it worth to disable xhci ports for all intel switchable
devices, not only for Intense-PC?
