The last lines of the log are more useful, which is more than 6500000
lines like this:

usb_ehci_opreg_read 4.767 addr=0x2c str=FRINDEX val=0x0

So macos seems to expect the frame index updating, and probably frame
list rollover interrupts too.  ehci doesn't do that of there is nothing
else to do, to keep the wakeup rate down.

Does the attached patch change anything?

In case it doesn't:  Any change in behavior if you add a usb-storage device?

cheers,
  Gerd
