What I want to do here is to finding this connection: Realtek r8153 <-> SMSC hub (USD ID: 0424:5537) <-> ASMedia XHCI controller (PCI ID: 1b21:1142). Is there a safer way to do this? > >> + if (controller->vendor == 0x1b21 && controller->device == 0x1142) >> + return true; > > Why can't you just look at the USB device itself and go off of a quirk > in it? Something like a version or string or something else? I have a r8153 <-> USB 3.0 dongle which work just fine. I can’t find any information to differentiate them. Hence I want to use the connection to identify if r8153 is on a Dell TB dock. > > This sounds like a USB host controller issue, not a USB device issue, > can't we fix the "real" problem here instead of this crazy work-around? Yes. From what I know, ASMedia is working on it, but not sure how long it will take. In the meantime, I’d like to workaround this issue for the users. > Odds are any device plugged into the hub should have the same issue, > right? Actually no. I just plugged r8153 dongle into the same hub, surprisingly the issue doesn’t happen in this scenario.
