  fwupd error 'Pipe error [-9]' / 'ioctl error: Bad address [14]' when
  Genesys USB hub is connected

Bug description:
  Running Noble with fwupd, 1.9.8-1, I can't successfully run fwupdmgr
  commands when my external usb-c monitor (a Lenovo ThinkVision) is
  plugged in. This is because the USB hub internal to the monitor makes
  fwupd fail this way (from the fwupd journal):

  fwupd[7399]: 21:22:25.771 FuEngine             failed to add device
  usb:01:00:03: failed to get static tool info from device: USB error on
  device 05e3:0610 : Pipe error [-9]

  This happens e.g. when I run `fwupdmgr get-updates`, which fails as it
  doesn't get the information it needs from the daemon. If I unplug the
  external monitor it works fine.

  The output of `lsusb v` for the problematic device follows.
