            Bug ID: 208305
           Summary: HID++ device behind a USB C hub fails to properly
                    initialize
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: v5.7.5
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: USB
          Assignee: drivers_usb@kernel-bugs.kernel.org
          Reporter: mcgrof@kernel.org
        Regression: No

I've purchased now about 3 different wireless mice, and they work gloriously if
I connect them onto my laptop directly onto one of its USB C ports. Mind you
the mice are USB, they come with a USB to USB converter. This works well,
however if you run low on USB C ports you'll need a USB HUB.

I've now tried two USB C HUBs, and when I connect the USB mice on the USB HUBs
the device initialize and *sometimes* you get to finagle movement out of them
but its clearly not working as expected.

This should be easily reproducible with any HID++ mice connected to a USB C
hub.

This is what I get from a full journalctl -f output for example if I connect
the mice directly to the laptop:

The last line does not appear if I use a USB C hub:

Given this is super easy to reproduce I figured this should be most of the
information needed, let me know if you need more.
