Yeah, I came to that conclusion as well.

Side note: probably not related to *this* -ENOSPC, which I've been
seeing for a few releases now and which appears to break Chromium's U2F
negotiation when the USB bus has sufficiently weird devices on it (like,
uh, my wireless mouse):

<https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=932699>

(I say "probably not related" because it's much older and long predates
the pl2303 trouble.)

They are all xhci, at least. The pl2303 is USB 2. One machine, a
two-year-old Broadwell server, says:

xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: xHCI Host Controller
xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3

00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 05) (prog-if 30 [XHCI])

The other, a 2012-era cheapish Ivy Bridge workstation:

xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: xHCI Host Controller
xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3

usb usb6: We don't know the algorithms for LPM for this host, disabling LPM.

03:00.0 USB controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 30 [XHCI])
04:00.0 USB controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1042 SuperSpeed USB Host Controller (prog-if 30 [XHCI])

(I really don't know which of these is which. I suspect only one
actually has any visible ports on the outside of the case...)

So the quirks are all totally different, and the controllers are quite
different as well...
