Can you provoke the transition while this Linux kernel is running ?
My creativity has been almost exhausted and that is why I am asking for
commands that I may try. I am not familiar with USB protocols close
enough, so I do not know how many reset/reinitialize variants exist. I
have not even figured out how to force USB2 when the stick is plugged
into a USB3 port (specific port, not whole PCI device).
I have seen transition a couple of times: f3write, umount, unplug, plug
it immediately, mount, f3read. It was connected to a USB2 port. It might
be overheating (due to plastic case). It is rather time consuming test.
Write speed is 10 MB/s, read one is 30 MB/s (for USB2).
If so: what does the kernel log say about that point in time ?

It is possible to boot from the USB stick when it is connected to a USB3
port of HP ProBook 445 G7. It fails in the case of the USB2 port of the
same laptop.
My attempt to determine efidisk read speed failed. Grub's md5sum command
fails on this laptop (both USB2 and USB3) on 1G files
error: out of memory
On the old laptop it works with USB2 speed of this flash drive.
