Thanks for the explanation Hans.

At U-Boot time, the only USB device I would need is the keyboard, and
I would rather avoid adding a hub if I don't otherwise need one, so
perhaps I can build U-Boot with the OHCI driver enabled instead of EHCI?
I tried removing CONFIG_USB_EHCI and adding:

CONFIG_USB_OHCI_NEW
CONFIG_SYS_USB_OHCI_BOARD_INIT
CONFIG_SYS_USB_OHCI_CPU_INIT
CONFIG_SYS_USB_OHCI_REGS_BASE=0x01c14400
CONFIG_SYS_USB_OHCI_SLOT_NAME="sunxi_slot_0"
CONFIG_SYS_USB_OHCI_MAX_ROOT_PORTS=1

which built and ran, but gave the error "unknown command usb".  Can
this approach be made to work?

Cheers,
