Hehe, sorry, I missed that post... I updated my BIOS but the regression is still there, however... the bios fixed my usb power surge errors that I knew would be fixed eventually.

one more dmesg just in case it helps.

I updated from v 5.10 to 5.90

So your suggestion worked. I believe that after rmmod the first time, i rebooted as I had the false impression that this was something that needed a reboot.
