USB controller resets when burning CD

[David Farrier <farrier@iglou.com>]

Please help debug a communication problem with my TEAC DV-W5000U CD/DVD 
burner. It read and wrote reliably with my 686 PC. I retired that machine, 
and recently tried to move the burner to one of my 64-bit computers. It 
reads reliably, but when writing, fails after transferring approximately 
150 Mb. Writing disk images smaller than that usually works.

Have tried various burning software, however will use cdrskin as an 
example, as I think its error messages more useful. At the point cdrskin 
prematurely quits burning, it complains about the host adapter. So, I 
looked in syslog, and about the time cdrskin fails, syslog reports the 
controller xhci_hcd reset the USB device.

Any suggestions appreciated. I hate to give up on the DV-W5000U because it 
is designed to do especially high-quality burns. Seems to be an ordinary 
TEAC drive except built to tighter tolerances.

Version of Debian:
When I first discovered this problem, I had the old computer and one of 
the new computers both running stretch, set up nearly the same except one 
was 686 pae and the other amd64. Since retiring the old computer, have 
tried buster with kernel 4.0.19 and backported 5.0.4. Have not tried 
testing or unstable.
