Thanks for testing.

Does commenting the following help:

  while (work_busy(&attach_usb_driver_work) & WORK_BUSY_RUNNING)
      msleep(10);

?

I'm wondering if the loop is actually needed. The idea behind it was:

The currently running work might not take into account the USB devices
of the hub that is currently probed, which should probe shortly after
the hub was powered on.

The 'attach' work is only needed for USB devices that were previously
detached through device_release_driver() in onboard_hub_remove(). These
USB device objects only persist in the kernel if the hub is not powered
off by onboard_hub_remove() (powering the hub off should be the usual
case).

If onboard_hub_probe() is invoked and the USB device objects persisted,
then an already running 'attach' work should take them into account. If
they didn't persist the running work might miss them, but that wouldn't
be a problem since the newly created USB devices don't need to be
explicitly attached (since they weren't detached previously).
