When I plug my USB reader (11b0:6348) into my computer (MSI X399
Carbon Pro, Threadripper 1900X),
I get warnings about a bad usb cable:
Sep 22 11:11:51 ciri kernel: usb 5-3.3-port4: Cannot enable. Maybe the
USB cable is bad?
Sep 22 11:11:52 ciri kernel: usb 5-3.3.4: new high-speed USB device

This warning shows up on all USB3 ports that I plug it in to (tried 3
of them directly off the MB).
I have also tried it using on the other side of a USB3 hub (2109:8110)
and still receive the
same message. I have tried 3 different USB cables and all report the
same warning.
If I instead plug into one of the USB2 only ports ("console ports" on
MB) I get no warning:

The warning appears to be mostly benign, as functionality appears to
be unaffected. It did
result in me purchasing a few replacement USB cables in an attempt to
remove the warning.
Anything I can do to "fix" this? I have verified the USB reader
(FCR-HS3) is running the latest
firmware from Kingston.
I am running Linux v4.19-rc4-89-g6ad49fa1993d.
Thanks,
