after changed to Yosemite, the GenericUSBXHCI.kext does not work properly. Found using Viktor Vos modification:-

 

1. sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"

2. download source
3. download xcode, signing in with apple developer account and requesting certificates
4. removing _onThunderbolt functions from source as xcode 6 raised like 8 errors on it.
5. signing with my mac developer account and then build/compile.
6. after installing the resulted .kext with kextwizard i rebuild the mkext with:
7. sudo kextcache -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions
8. reboot & working for me.

 

the kext:
