Bug 120981

Description:
I have a Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD3 motherboard. The motherboard provides:
2 USB 3.0/2.0 ports (available through the internal USB header)
AND
6 USB 2.0/1.1 ports (2 ports on the back panel, 4 ports available through the internal USB headers)
On the chipset itself (Intel chipsep, lspci output attached)
AND
4 USB 3.0/2.0 ports on the back panel through VIA VL805 chip.

All USB outputs (3.0 and 2.0) works well with 2.0 USB devices. However I've purchased a USB 3.0 card reader (Transcend USB 3.0 Multi-Card Reader) and when I connect it to the front USB3.0 output (located on the Intel chipset) everything works as expected, but when I connect it to any of the 4 USB3.0 ports on the back, after about 1-1.5 minutes the devices resets and I get an error "device not accepting address" (full dmesg output attached). At this point the device no longer functioning (also disappears from lsusb) and the only way to make it work is to unplug and plug it back but then again the same process happens, so essentially the rear USB 3.0 does not work at all.
Since the device works correctly on the front USB 3.0, I believe that the issue is with the kernel itself / via controller driver, rather than the device (I do not have any other USB3.0 device to test).

Please note: I DID NOT disconnect the device. It stays connected to the USB port even though dmesg reports it was disconnected, making the device useless.

In BIOS itself I found only 2 options that are somehow related to USB: "XHCI Handoff" and "EHCI Handoff". They are set to "Enabled" and "Disabled" respectively.

Steps to reproduce:
Acquire motherboard with VIA VL805 USB3.0 controller. Connect USB3.0 device to USB3.0 port, after about 1-1.5 minutes the device becomes unresponsive and dmesg reports that it timed out trying to setup device and then disconnects it.
