MacBook Pro 14,1 with Mint 22.3: USB 3 devices only work after "sudo lsusb -v"

[timid pecan]

After installing Mint onto my 2017 MBP 13", USB 3 devices stopped working. USB 1/2 still work, and Mint running off of a live thumbdrive also works fine with USB 3 devices. But after the install, no USB 3 device will be detected, not even the plug event, EXCEPT if I run "sudo lsusb -v". It has to be sudo, and it has to be -v. It seems to "wake up" the controller I guess? So question is: how do I fix this, without having to run sudo lsusb -v?

Steps to reproduce:

• Take MacBook Pro 14,1 (13" 2017) and install Mint 22.3 on it
• Attach a USB 3 device, e.g. an external SSD

Expected behavior:

• SSD is detected and mounted

Actual behavior:

• Nothing happens
• Type "sudo lsusb -v" in terminal: SSD starts working and is detected and mounted

you could go through the process of trying to see if it's firmware, if some driver related issue (perhaps chipset) or through the kernel logs what might be the issue or...... run a cronjob as root that does a lsusb on boot so it gets the detected as a workaround
