Max. 10 J-Links enumerate

When connecting multiple J-Links to USB 3.0 ports + hubs, it can happen that Windows only enumerates up to 10 J-Links and then throw enumeration errors. Depending on the USB setup, it may also be only 8 or 9 J-Links that are enumerated. This is not a problem in the J-Link USB driver, but a limitation of the USB 3.0 controller, as the error message indicates:
