According to the xHCI specification, those 02a0 values are normal and 
the 0088 values indicate the port is disabled and has an over-current 
condition.  I don't know about the e000 bits in the upper part of the 
word; according to my copy of the spec those bits should be 0.

If your machine has only two physical SuperSpeed (USB-3) ports then 
perhaps the other four ports are internally wired in a way that creates 
a permanent over-current indication.

Because over-current is supposed to be a transient condition that goes 
away quickly.  It means there's a short circuit or something similar.

The usbmon output has a lot of gaps, but here we can see some of the 
port status data contains 0x0088 (four bytes little-endian) and some 
contains 0x02a0 -- the same as what the debugging log says.

So yes, this looks like a hardware design error.  Turning off 
autosuspend by writing to the sysfs power/control file is probably the 
best way to handle the problem.
