Thanks :) Just to clarify, when you say 'your device' do you mean the
outboard disk docking station? So I need to buy other host controllers,
not new docking stations?

No difference. But I notice the code enables the TRB quirk only if the
xhci_version is specifically 0x95. My debug messages claim that "xHCI
doesn't need link TRB QUIRK" so I'm wondering if adding my asmedia device
to the quirks list really doesn't change anything unless it's xhci 0.95.

Does lspci provide that information? I'm not seeing anything obvious.
