IIUC the issue is the xHCI xhci_cap_ops defines impl.min_access_size=4.
Then it'll be enlarged to 4 bytes read on offset 0x2.  IOW, I think it'll
also work if xhci_cap_ops can support impl.min_access_size=2, however I
don't know whether that can be more than that register, so that the memory
patch is still a more generic approach.
