Correct, you need to fix the rpi host controller driver in order to make
this work properly. Please push back on the developers of that hardware
so we can get the specs to write a proper driver for it.

Or better yet, buy a board with a working USB port, like a BeagleBone or
the like :)

Sorry, there's really nothing we can do here,
