[Bug 1250488] [NEW] USB hub stopped working on a given USB port (would work on any other port). Reboot fixed the issue

 

Public bug reported:

I have two USB ports that I usually use interchangeably: to port A I
connect the mouse, to port B I connect a USB hub (to which I connect a
keyboard, printer and other devices).

Suddenly (probably after resuming from a suspend), the USB hub stopped working when connected to port A.
It would work fine, however, if connected to port B. When I say the hub stopped working I mean that any device (even a keyboard) wouldn't work if connected through the hub.
I exchanged ports dozens of times and 100% checked that:
- mouse and keyboard would systematically work fine if connected directly to any of the ports A or B
- the USB hub would systematically work fine only if connected to port B
- the USB hub would systematically fail (i.e. no device connected through it would ever work) if connected to port A

 Now I've rebooted, and everything works as expected again: the USB hub
always works fine whether I connect it to port A or B.

I thought this was something physical until I rebooted and found out
that everything works again.

This is absolutely ridiculous.
