umcs (4-Port-USB-serial) triggering way too much ehci IRQs

  I have only one 2-port noname adapter with this chip, which I used to
 write this driver. And it works fine (at least right now):

usbus0: 12Mbps Full Speed USB v1.0
usbus1: 12Mbps Full Speed USB v1.0
usbus2: 12Mbps Full Speed USB v1.0
usbus3: 480Mbps High Speed USB v2.0

  I have never seen other devices on this chip and I have never had chance
 to try it with 4-port version of device...

  To be honest, I didn't know much about USB at all, I wrote this driver
without complete understanding USB magic and use USB only as transport to
access MCS7840 registers...

 Maybe, local USB Guru Hans Petter Selasky could give cime advicec how to
 debug this situation. I've added freebsd-usb@ to CC:
