Bug Description
When I connect a 16 port USB3 hub to one of the USB3 ports on the Pi4 (4GB or 8GB ram model), and then plug in external powered hard drives into the hub, when I reach the sixth or seventh or maximum 8th drive, OS complains xHCI max limit of 32 has been reached. I have a keyboard, no mouse, I'm not sure why it's already 32 USB devices.
I was hoping I could connect 2 such 16port usb hubs to the 2 usb3 ports on the Pi4, and connect 32 externally powered hard drives to the Pi4.

There is some comments online about having the system switch from xHCI to eHCI but none of the suggested methods worked.
