Asus RT-AC56R <-> External USB 3 drive not working

Broken in 22.03.2
was Solved for 21.02! Support for Xiaomi Wifi R3P Pro? - #882 by andreykiselev

Adding quirk fixed it and the read speed now matches my desktop :grinning:

# hdparm -Tt /dev/sda3

/dev/sda3:
 Timing cached reads:   486 MB in  2.00 seconds = 242.61 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 236 MB in  3.02 seconds =  78.22 MB/sec

OpenWrt 21.02.2 r16495-bf0c965af0 / LuCI openwrt-21.02 branch git-22.046.85957-59c3392

Finally got around to actually use the router Upcycling ASUS RT-AC56R and have some trouble with USB 3 and Orico external usb enclosure with 3 TB WD Red NAS drive. When I plug in the device in to USB 2.0 port, it works fine but fails when I plug it into USB 3.0 device.

BTW What read speed should I expect? I am not getting faster than 23.70 MB/sec. On a Ubuntu linux desktop I get around 80 MB.sec Here is dmesg output when it is plugged in to USB 3 port.

/dev/sda3:

There is some discussion of disabling UAS for jmicron chip set on this external drive using cmdline.txt. Can I do this with openwrt?

# lsusb -v | grep 0080:0578
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0080:0578 JMicron External USB 3.0

Broke in 22.03.2. (Attended upgrade, made sure all the relevant packages are installed). Same hardware, same quirk added. It does not work on USB 3 port.

After connecting the external drive to the USB 2, everything works fine.
