Okay, that indicates the ATA commands are being sent not by the kernel
but by some program.  I'm not sure how you can easily find out which
program; probably the best thing to do is turn them off one by one until
you find the one responsible.

I can hardly imagine which user-space tools other than powertop can
interfere here.
Any ideas?

No.  Especially since I have no idea what programs are running on your
computer.

Are we talking about things like gvfs - udisks - fuse etc.?
All running via systemd here.

Here I am using KDE/Plasma as DE.
Unsure if this runs apps in the background.

AFAICS I have not seen xhci-resets with Debian-Kernel 5.10.19-1.

No, with Debian-Kernel 5.10.19-1 there are no xhci-resets:

root# cat /proc/version
Linux version 5.10.0-4-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc-10
(Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian)
2.35.2) #1 SMP Debian 5.10.19-1 (2021-03-02)

root# LC_ALL=C dmesg -T | grep xhci | grep reset
[ empty ]

But I see there is already a quirk enabled and matches my ASmedia USB
3.0 controller (as I have *no* usb-storage-quirks enabled):

root# LC_ALL=C dmesg -T | grep -i quirks | egrep '174c|55aa'
[Sat Mar  6 06:52:41 2021] usb-storage 4-1:1.0: Quirks match for vid
174c pid 55aa: 400000

For the sake of completeness my latest /etc/modules-load.d/usb-storage.conf:

# Add quirks for USB Mass Storage devices

Thanks Alan for all the hints and tips in the topic "usb-storage and
quirks" and your patience.
