Replying to this since I did not get the original post.
0bda:9210 is a Realtek USB 3 to pcie chip used by umpteen
enclosure manufacturers.
I have got one from Orico and it works ok under both linux and MSWin but 
it can be a bit finicky if it doesn't get enough power, it may for 
instance work well with an earlier (slower) type of NVME SSD but not 
with a later faster type unless you provide external power to it (usb 
hub + power adapter).

Slowing down all RTL9120 already in the market with this quirk is in my 
humble opinion not a realistic solutio.
