The current version of the code is CPM2-specific and won't work on QE-based 
platforms. Should I still post it ?

No it didn't, it's a completely different problem.

The IDLE interrupts I see every millisecond for around 175ms after 
disconnecting the device are probably due to the SOF tokens sent between 
device disconnection and the fhci_stop_sof_timer() call. Calling 
fhci_stop_sof_timer() in device_disconnected_interrupt() prevents spurious 
idle interrupts from being generated.

After further investigation I found out why no idle interrupt were generated 
when replugging the device. Upon disconnection the FHCI driver turns bus 
power off by setting the suspend GPIO pin high. As the signal is connected to 
the suspend input of the USB phy on my hardware, setting the signal high 
turned the phy off, disconnecting the RP and RN signals completely.

I solved the issue by referencing the bus power control GPIO instead of the 
suspend GPIO in the device tree. GPIO_SUSPN should really be renamed 
GPIO_POWER.
