Hm, I'm pretty sure I never touched anything with `port` in its name,
all the ports are set to `auto` (that's what laptop-mode-tools does).

Right now I think I see three possibly unrelated issues:

Issue #1. BT trackpad not working properly when connected to the
builtin bluetooth adapter.
----------

The adapter is attached to a USB1.1 hub:

~~~~
# lsusb -t
...
/:  Bus 03.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=uhci_hcd/2p, 12M
    |__ Port 2: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Wireless, Driver=btusb, 12M
    |__ Port 2: Dev 2, If 1, Class=Wireless, Driver=btusb, 12M
    |__ Port 2: Dev 2, If 2, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=, 12M
    |__ Port 2: Dev 2, If 3, Class=Application Specific Interface, Driver=, 12M
...

# cat usb3/power/control
auto

# cat usb3/3-*/usb3-port*/power/control
auto
auto

# cat usb3/3-2/power/control
on
~~~~

The trackpad is working fine right now. Whenever I do

~~~~
# echo auto > usb3/3-2/power/control
~~~~

and leave it alone for 5 seconds `btmon` stops showing any activity.
As soon as I do

~~~~
# echo on > usb3/3-2/power/control
~~~~

the trackpad is alive again. As I mentioned this doesn’t happen when
the trackpad is connected to a USB BT dongle (also USB1.1, but a
different bus number).


Issue #2. No hotplug with USB1.1:
----------

To see this I pick one physical port. When I plug a USB1.1 device it
appears on bus 4 port 2; a USB2.0 device appears on bus 1 port 4.

Issue #3. No hot-plug-out for USB1.1.
--------

This issue is somewhat harder to describe as it depends on the
combination of power/control of the hub and device. And there are
three possible outcomes: device disconnect properly detected (both
`on`), not detected at all (both `auto`), error about a port being
"disabled by hub (EMI?)" in some other cases. I'm not really sure
about this one and I'll get back about it later after some more
experiments.


I think that the first two issues are fixed by keeping all the USB1.1
hubs and the builtin BT always `on`, but I just wanted to know whether
those are hardware or software bugs.

Thanks for helping me investigate this!
