Hmm, true, logs doesn't show anything connected to usb 3 (HS) bus roothub, but on
the usb4 (SS) bus roothub there is a USB 3.0 external hub connected.

[ 1650.115544] usb 4-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[ 1650.115545] usb 4-1: Product: 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub
[ 1650.115547] usb 4-1: Manufacturer: Generic

So there should be a HS hub on usb 3-1, (same connector as the SS side usb 4-1)
but instead we just see the over-current error. 

xHCI will set a HS port that has an over-current condition to a powered-off state with 
link state to Disabled, and port powered off, so no device will appear connected.

Maybe the enumerated SS HUB on usb 4-1 is draining more power from the connector than the
un-enumerated HS hub is allowed, causing the the over-current for HS the port?
