Oh, my fault, I ignored this so obvious error message. :(.
Sorry for the noise, Maybe this patch should be removed.

Actually, this bug is specific to the 5.4 version of the kernel and a
particular USB camera. I am working
to resolve this issue. When the xhci_hcd is initialized, the driver sets
xhc_state to "halted", but before
the xhci_hcd calls xhci_start, the hub starts Initializing. Hub
initialization failed due to xhc_state being
halted. Perhaps this issue is caused by hardware...
