I was dabbling a bit further and can re-play the final scene of what must have
happened: the IRQ routine detected a fatal error, threw the hands in the air
and turned the computer into a brick. Question now is what caused the fatal
error.

static irqreturn_t ehci_irq (struct usb_hcd *hcd)
{
struct ehci_hcd *ehci = hcd_to_ehci (hcd);
u32 status, masked_status, pcd_status = 0, cmd;
int bh;

spin_lock (&ehci->lock);

status = ehci_readl(ehci, &ehci->regs->status);
[...]
/* PCI errors [4.15.2.4] */
if (unlikely ((status & STS_FATAL) != 0)) {
ehci_err(ehci, "fatal error\n");
dbg_cmd(ehci, "fatal", cmd);
dbg_status(ehci, "fatal", status);
ehci_halt(ehci);
dead:
ehci_reset(ehci);
ehci_writel(ehci, 0, &ehci->regs->configured_flag);
/* generic layer kills/unlinks all urbs, then
* uses ehci_stop to clean up the rest
*/
bh = 1;
}

if (bh)
ehci_work (ehci);
spin_unlock (&ehci->lock);
if (pcd_status)
usb_hcd_poll_rh_status(hcd);
return IRQ_HANDLED;
}
