thanks for pointing out to that, I was testing this on Linux 6.8.12.
I will recompile the latest kernel and double check.

your one:
[46711.125623] Workqueue: usb_hub_wq hub_event [usbcore]
[46711.125668] RIP: 0010:xhci_reserve_bandwidth
(drivers/usb/host/xhci.c

vs my one:
kernel: Workqueue: usb_hub_wq hub_event
kernel: RIP: 0010:xhci_check_bw_table+0x100/0x4d0
