A usbmon trace would be more helpful.  Or perhaps a pair of traces, one 
for the USB-2 port and one for the USB-3 port.  See the instructions in 
Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt.

Those disconnections in your dmesg logs are not normal.  They could be 
caused by a hardware incompatibility or by a software problem -- 
although if it were software then I would expect the same thing to 
happen with the USB-3 port.
