Meanwhile, I discovered a similar thread where the issue was previously
discussed, and have tried to implement a workaround suggested in [1]. No luck so
far: even if the code manages to check a value returned by
readl(base + OHCI_FMINTERVAL), it then still hangs during device unregistering.

Of course, unregistering a device instead of just not accessing OHCI_FMINTERVAL
like in my or Nikita's patch is also possible but it requires hardcoding all
flawed device IDs instead of figuring out misbehaving devices at boot time.
