This commit log is a bit hard to understand. When does this problem
actually happen? It seems like it's in the case of, perhaps, kexecing
into a new kernel, is that right?

At the time dwc3_core_soft_reset() is called, the assumption is that
we're starting with a clean core, from power up. If we have stale
configuration from a previous run, we should fix this on the exit
path. Note that if we're reaching probe with pull up connected, we
already have issues elsewhere.

I think this is not the right fix for the problem.
