I did not have any problems with USB recently (using 4.5), 
so I would not have any idea how to reproduce it.

Note that I am using it with an AXIS USB-ethernet dongle plus USB-stick
all the time on my Compute Module connected via a tiny hub, 
so I wonder if that qualifies as being able to trigger the issue...
