You're not the only one that's having issues with USB hard drives behind
VIA hubs.  I've seen a similar report from one of my co-workers who was
testing on an Intel chipset.

I've actually been wondering if the USB 3.0 Link PM is to blame here.
Perhaps either the USB device or the VIA hub doesn't handle enabling U1
link PM very well.  Since your device works under the roothub, I think
the VIA hub might be to blame.

I'll whip up some patches that allow you to disable USB 3.0 Link PM for
the VIA hub and we'll see if that helps.  Or you could downgrade to the
3.4 kernel and see if that helps, since USB 3.0 Link PM went into 3.5.
