It seems to be caused by "USB: hub: Don't record a connect-change event 
during reset-resume". Running 5.5.7-rc1 with only that patch reverted 
works fine.

Also happens with the X399. And only when the ATEN UCE260 USB extender 
is involved. Connecting a device is the problem, if it is connected at 
boot, things seem fine, until you connect something new. Then the port 
dies completely, dead even if you disconnect the extender and plug 
something in directly - until system is rebooted (perhaps driver reload 
would work too - have not tested.)

Aw well, the problem does seem a little narrower than I expected at first :)

There's no errors in the kernel log at all. The last thing logged is 
that whatever device was on the other end got disconnected.

Yes, it does

Unfortunately, email deliverability will be terrible for me for a few 
days (there was a mishap), so if you could loop in the 
author/maintainers for me that would be good.
