Public bug reported:
Bus 003 Device 061: ID 0b95:1790 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88179 Gigabit
Ethernet
Link changes on this device cause approx. 5 second hiccups on the USB
bus - keyboard and mouse become unresponsive.
Here's my USB device tree:

Ethernet adapter and keyboard marked by "<===", they only share root hub.
To reproduce - replug the the cable or force link renegotiation with
"sudo ethtool -s enxa0cec8fb9be3 autoneg on", observe hiccup wiht KB and
mouse unresponsive.
AX driver is to blame because this does not happen with other USB-eth
adapters, e.g. r8152, even when plugged into the same hub as ax88179:
|__ Port 1: Dev 61, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class,
Driver=ax88179_178a, 480M
|__ Port 2: Dev 62, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/2p, 480M
|__ Port 1: Dev 63, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class,
Driver=r8152, 480M
Link changes on r8152 do not cause hiccups.
