TBS device/firmware turns off Virtual Machine

Hello,

I have a problem with installling drivers under Linux for TBS5520SE USB Box under ESXi 7.0 virtual machine.
After successful installation of firmware VM is unable to boot when TBS is connected to USB. When device is about to initialize then my VM is turned off by force.

If I don't plug the device into USB the system boots normally - when I plug-in the device to USB then machine almost immidiately turns off.

This problem is very annoying and it looks the same on these operating systems:
- Debian 10.6,
- CentOS 7.0,
- Ubuntu 20.04,
- Debian 9.

Right now I'm running under Debian 10.6 - kernel 4.19.0-13-amd64.

I'm compiling drivers with this instructions:
https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/w ... Rebuilding

This device works well on the same ESXi host under Windows systems - the problem occurs only under Linux distributions.
