Thanks Alan.

I did:

[ /etc/modules-load.d/usb-storage.conf ]

# Add quirks for ATA commands for usb-storage devices connected to
ASMedia M1042 USB-3.0 controller
options usb-storage quirks=174c:55aa:t
- EOF -

It is:

/lib/modules/5.12.0-rc1-11-amd64-clang13-cfi/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko

But:

root# lsmod | grep usb | grep storage
usb_storage            90112  2 uas
scsi_mod              307200  6 sd_mod,usb_storage,uas,libata,sg,sr_mod
usbcore               385024  14
usbserial,xhci_hcd,ehci_pci,usbnet,usbhid,usb_storage,usb_wwan,uvcvideo,ehci_hcd,btusb,xhci_pci,cdc_ether,uas,option

I have not rebooted yet.

Interferences with PowerTop?

These xhci-resets happen every 10mins in a sequence of 4.

I have here a powertop.service (systemd) with passing --auto-tune option.
That was not a problem with previous Linux-kernels >= v5.12-rc1, so.

Alan, what do you think?
