Dear Kernel Developers,
I had some trouble with my usb devices, often showing a disconnect problem. I
did some googleing and saw, that it is a less or more common problem.
This problem is discussed in various internet sites.

I have a solution/hint to solve this problem.
In my case I had following NOT WORKING config:
internal USB-Card PCI --> USB Hub --> Card Reader
( ali usb card, i-rocks hub, Phision cardreader)
00:08.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
00:08.1 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
00:08.2 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
00:08.3 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 2.0 Controller (rev 01)
linux sets it up using:
ehci --> ehci --> ehci (total usb 2.0 support)
Bus 004 Device 028: ID 0d7d:0240 Phison Electronics Corp. I/O-Magic/Transcend
6-in-1 Card Reader
Bus 004 Device 027: ID 05e3:0605 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 2.0 Hub [ednet]
but only the hub is a usb 2.0 compliant product. the card-reader is usb 1.1!!
So i changed physically the hub back to a 1.1 device.
and now linux sets this to
ohci --> ohci --> ohci
Bus 003 Device 011: ID 0d7d:0240 Phison Electronics Corp. I/O-Magic/Transcend
6-in-1 Card Reader
Bus 003 Device 010: ID 03eb:3301 Atmel Corp. at43301 4-port Hub
And this configuration works perfect, without any trouble any more.
So in my opinion the problem is comming from ehci, which tries to set up a usb
1.1 device in a 2.0 mode. this results in severe timing problems, because the
1.1 device is too slow to handle this protocol, this results in a "dead"
device from the point of view of the driver (no reaction). It disconnects the
device and reconnects it again. It is only a problem, if you use a HUB
between the USB Controller and the end device. I think we have to take care
about the last device in the chain to set it up in the correct way.
now log looks like this (and I am happy):

I hope, that this will help you to work on this point.
Chears & have a nice day.
