And there is nothing wrong. EHCI handles only the High Speed mode of
USB2! Low and Full Speed are still handled by UHCI/OHCI.
you are wrong, kernel with ehci only:
[ 31.592651] usb 1-3.1: new low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and
address 4
And the device works?
However, I refer to Universal Serial Bus EHCI Specification [1]
on page 3:
A USB 2.0 Host Controller includes one high-speed mode host controller and 0
or more USB 1.1 host controllers (see Figure 1-2). The high-speed host
controller implements an EHCI interface. It is used for all high-speed
communications to high-speed-mode devices connected to the root ports of the
USB 2.0 host controller. This specification allows communications to Full-
and Low-speed devices connected to the root ports of the USB 2.0 host
controller to be provided by companion USB 1.1 host controllers.
and on page 4:
High-speed devices are always routed to and controlled by the EHCI host
controller (eHC). When running and configured, the eHC is the default owner
of all the root ports. The eHC and its driver initially detect all device
attaches. It has additional control bits visible in each port register to
manage the routing logic. For example: if the attached device is not a
high-speed device, the eHC driver releases ownership of the port (and thus
control of the device) to a companion host controller. For that port,
enumeration starts over from the initial attach detect point and the device
is enumerated under the cHC. Otherwise, the eHC retains ownership of the port
and the device completes enumeration under the eHC.
