Clocks is what I tried first, and didn't do anything for me...

..anyway, can you at this point try to run that solution on the multiple
devices that we have in the lab through KernelCI?

That would help validating that you're not facing the same false positive
as mine from yesterday...

That's the PCI-Express Root Port (RP) Transaction Layer (TL) clock... and I have
no idea why this has anything to do with USB.

MediaTek, is that a hardware quirk? What is the relation between this clock and
the USB controller at 11290000?
