Quirky USB error message appears on boot and in TTYs

[Zalán Hári]

When I switch to TTYs or boot, I get the same message repeatedly:

usb usb4-port2: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

It is probably not a hardware problem: Ubuntu printed exactly the same message on an HP computer as well (I have an ASUS one).

I use Noble Numbat, the error has appeared first time when I upgraded from 22.04 to this, but the other computer is a Jammy Jellyfish fresh install.

It can be a useful information that the error message is sometimes missing, but sometimes hangs the reboot/shutdown for minutes.
