So the device already "reacts" differently when access is slowed
down by the debug output.

usb_subr.c:
        /* Get the full descriptor.  Try a few times for slow devices. */
        for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
                err = usbd_get_desc(dev, UDESC_CONFIG, index, len, cdp);
                if (!err)
                        break;
                usbd_delay_ms(dev, 200);
        }

Maybe it needs more time and we a better way than retrying to find
this out.
