cypress hubs stall the controll endpoint without a reason when running
high speed - even if it had one the specs say that the control endpoint
shouldn't stall at all.
I have a workaround for the probing problem, but USB2 hubs won't work
anyway, because at ehci is missing support for interrupt endpoints.
Maybe there are other show stopppers too.
