Here the the logs after I applied the above changes

with below message.

[   14.793044] usb 1-1.3: reset high-speed USB device number 3 using dwc2
[   18.253011] usb 1-1.3: reset high-speed USB device number 3 using dwc2
[   21.643017] usb 1-1.3: reset high-speed USB device number 3 using dwc2

[   28.412995] usb 1-1.3: reset high-speed USB device number 3 using dwc2

So this is not correct solution to the problem.
