USB: ehci-ath79: fix a NULL pointer dereference



Loading the ehci-hcd module on the ath79 platform causes
a NULL pointer dereference:

      USB: EHCI: Support controllers with big endian capability regs

      The two first HC capability registers (CAPLENGTH and HCIVERSION)
      are defined as one 8-bit and one 16-bit register. Most HC
      implementations have selected to treat these registers as part
      of a 32-bit register, giving the same layout for both big and
      small endian systems.

      This patch adds a new quirk, big_endian_capbase, to support
      controllers with big endian register interfaces that treat
      HCIVERSION and CAPLENGTH as individual registers.

The reading of the HC capability register has been moved by that
commit to a place where the ehci->caps field is not initialized
yet. This patch moves the reading of the register back to the
original place.
