PCI-E USB 3 expansion card, 2 ports, with NEC chipset.
Card is recognized in YaST Hardware Information panel. However, during boot, error message “Host took too long to start …” is displayed and USB ports have no connectivity at the desktop - not even for a keyboard or mouse.

Attempting to solve the “BAR … failed to assign” errors. This thread from 2013 suggests that the solution was to “… remove the Root Port from the PCI bus before doing the retrain the memory windows get successfully assigned to the PCI device.” But I don’t understand the commands used or how to correctly adapt them to my errors.
What does this mean?
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:01.1/remove
