Maybe it's worth to try to reload the usb bus driver in the broken
state. Something like:

        # cd -P /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb5/../driver/
        # echo 0000:02:00.0 > unbind
        # echo 0000:02:00.0 > bind

(where 0000:02:00.0 is a link in the directory that the first command
cd'd into). Note that 

a) there might be several device links in that directory, try

        ls -ld /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb5

   to determine the right one.

b) While I expect that the format of the device string matches mine, it
   might also be something completely different.

c) When unbinding the usb bus driver your USB keyboard might stop
   working. So either do bind and unbind in a single line (and hope that
   binding works again :-), or do that via network (or with a PS/2
   keyboard).

I tried installing an Ubuntu (noble) kernel in a Debian 12 VM. While
this worked and produced a booting system, it pulled in quite some
dependencies, so it might get hard to restore an all-Debian system
afterwards.
