Maybe, but I guess more correct is to deal with USB->PCI dependency.. 
Is it really needed(I am not USB expert)?

My changes do not required for kernel to deal with PCI, that patch just allows access to PCI in 
U-Boot. Hence I might be useful if you'll head for resolving this issue which I guess unlikely to happen

Sounds weird

IMHO ability to disable PCI_8260 while PCI is on might be confusing, at least for upstream.
