In addition to the earlier comment, it appears that the issue is most likely
related to the hub. While we have identified one specific phone that triggers
this problem, we cannot determine how many other devices might encounter a
similar issue, where they enumerate as full speed initially and then switch
to high speed. To address this, we are proposing to use a 500 ms timeout for
all devices connected via the hub. This change aims to prevent potential
timeout-related problems with various devices

It does appear that the issue is related to the hub, and the ideal solution would involve
modifying the hub's firmware. However, implementing such a firmware fix is currently not
a straightforward task. As a result, we have implemented this quirk-based solution to
mitigate the issue to some extent

Following is the LeCroy analyzer logs:

1. logs between Hub and phone with broken hub.

In packet 58, there is a Full-speed J (suspend) event that lasted for 5.347 seconds.
It's suspected that the hub was suspended due to incorrect chirp parsing.
This anomaly in chirp parsing may be a contributing factor to the issue we're facing.

2. Following is the logs between Host and Hub:

In transfer 12, the Full-Speed (FS) SET Address request commenced at
8.995 seconds, following an SSPLIT request. Unfortunately, it eventually
failed in Transaction 2866864 at 14.784 seconds with a Timeout error,
which is nearly a 5-second duration.

It appears that the timeout occurred due to a suspension in the upstream
logs.

As you can see, the suspend timeout is only ~300 ms (packet 65) compare to 5 sec in
