I have found a workaround

I should manually load the usb-uhci module and after
the pwc module and it work

but it supposed to work automatically

Please, attach the result of dmesg for the failed case
to the bug, but do not drop it into the comments box.

Also, contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices would be helpful.
