            Bug ID: 220576
           Summary: USB port disable doesn't work on all ports
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: USB
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
        Regression: No

Hello,
with

echo 0 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/4-1.1/port/disable
echo 0 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/4-1.2/port/disable
echo 0 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/4-1.4/port/disable

i can disable the ports on my usb 3.2 hub. It's a 10-port hub from RSHTECH (RSH-ST10C).

Output of uhubctl for the USB 3.2 part:

Current status for hub 4-1 [0bda:0423 TerraMaster 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub, USB 3.20, 4 ports, ppps]
Port 1: 0203 power 5gbps U0 enable connect [2109:8822 VIA Labs, Inc. USB3.1
Hub 000000001, USB 3.20, 4 ports, ppps]
Port 2: 0203 power 5gbps U0 enable connect [2109:8822 VIA Labs, Inc. USB3.1
Hub 000000001, USB 3.20, 4 ports, ppps]
Port 3: 0263 power 5gbps U3 enable connect [0bda:0411 Generic USB3.2 Hub, USB
3.20, 4 ports, ppps]
Port 4: 0203 power 5gbps U0 enable connect [2109:8822 VIA Labs, Inc. USB3.1
Hub 000000001, USB 3.20, 4 ports, ppps]

The strange thing is, powering off port 1 and 4 works, but power 2 says it's powered off, but the LED indicatior on the hub is still on (usb drive bay doesn't suspend, the other 2 do).

Now i don't know if it is a hardware or a software bug. How to find out? Can it be fixed?
