TX2 Devkit USB controller firmware hang

USB3 traffic of few hundreds of MBs on the TX devkit (also reproduced on Connectech carier boards) for 0.5-3 hours causes USB crash - reboot needed to restart USB.

logs (/var/log/syslog) imply that it is a USB controller issue:

This reminds me another thread.

Please do similar thing to add your device into the quirk list and see if it can prevent the hang. This is due to the usb hub may not follow the spec.
