So the problem is actually that the on board hub doesn't support
splits? That's much different than your initial description and the
workaround makes more sense in this context.

But why can't it support splits?

And how can an FS device pass enumeration if the hub doesn't support
splits? I feel like there is still something missing.

Also, if you plug in a HS hub, and then an FS device behind that. That
should work fine, no? So you wouldn't want to reset anything in that
case.
