It seems to be an issue with single TT hubs. I've tried several
multi-TT hubs with no issues.

With a single TT hub I do see a problem though not the exact one
described. I see corrupted and dropped packets on the FS side of
the hub. In a microframe with SSPLIT.begin, taking up the max
bandwidth for the microframe, when another SSPLIT for a different
device is issued, the data gets corrupted on the other side of
the TT. Probably due to exceeding the bandwidth in the microframe
since a single TT hub's ports all share the bandwidth.

With this fix, the next SSPLIT goes out in the same microframe as
the SSPLIT.end and the data goes through fine.

However I don't think this will work as a general fix. Since it
is just skipping things without rescheduling. For example SSPLIT
now happens a microframe later but the CSPLIT is not adjusted so
it comes a microframe too early.

I think the correct fix is to create a proper schedule based on
all the active endpoints to make sure we don't go over the
bandwidth for a single TT hub. Or to make the adjustments earlier
like in dwc2_sched_periodic_split().

John
