So, first of all: Sorry for (kinda) 'reopening' this thread after such a long 
time.
Today I noticed something very strange. One of my (16) CPU cores was pinned at 
100%. After a bit of googling I stumbled upon this thread and read about people 
pointing towards USB.
So what I did was unplugging everything except for my keyboard and mouse.
Then, one at a time I plugged everything back in until the core got loaded too 
100% again. Turns out it's an USB Hub while nothing is plugged in. This stays 
that way (even if I plug anything in) until I plug in a specific device: A SATA 
to USB adapter/bridge *with an SSD attached*

lsusb shows it as:
Bus 008 Device 005: ID 174c:1153 ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1153 SATA 3Gb/s 
bridge

I'm running Ubuntu 19.10 with kernel 5.3.0-13-generic.

Is there a fix yet?
If not, I hope I can contribute to fixing/diagnosing this bug.
